Don't go jumping waterfalls,
Please, keep to the lake.
People who jump waterfalls,
Sometimes can make mistakes.

And I need love,
Yeah, I need love,
Like a second needs an hour,
Like a raindrop needs a shower.
Yeah, I need love,
Ev'ry minute of the day,
And it wouldn't be the same
If you ever should decide to go away.

And I need love,
Yeah, I need love,
Like a castle needs a tower,
Like a garden needs a flower.
Yeah, I need love
Ev'ry minute of the day,
And it wouldn't be the same
If you ever should decide to go away

Don't go chasing polar bears
In the great unknown.
Some big friendly polar bear,
Might want to take you home.

And I need love,
Yeah, I need love,
Like a second needs an hour,
Like a raindrop needs a shower.
Yeah, I need love
Ev'ry minute of the day,
And it wouldn't be the same
If you ever should decide to go away.

Don't run after motor cars,
Please, stay on the side.
Someone's glossy motor car
Might take you for a ride.

And I need love,
Yeah, I need love,
Like a castle needs a tower,
Like a garden needs a flower.
Yeah, I need love,
Said, I need love,
Like a raindrop needs a shower,
Like a second needs an hour.
Ev'ry minute of the day,
And it wouldn't be the same
If you ever should decide to go away

Don't go jumping waterfalls,
Please. Keep to the lake.
