From the recording As Is
Sometimes we don't realize what we had until it's gone. That's the story here.
Lyrics
He has the car. He has the look.
He's followed the steps-gone by the book.
But when he comes home, no one is there.
He sits across from an empty chair.
With no one to see him looking so good,
He stares out the window and feels like a fool.
He needs her love again. She gives him love.
She gives him love. She gives him a reason to wake up in the morning and face the day.
She gives him love. She gives him the feeling that someone would miss him if he went away. She breathes life into him She gives him love.
He left her in April after a rain.
Wanted to feel young again.
He got an apartment and made new friends,
Looking for pleasure that never ends.
While being so free and having such fun
He noticed the one thing that she had done
He needs her love again. She gives him love.
He leaves the table; heads for the door.
Thought his new life would offer more.
He left her side to follow his plan
Wound up a well-dressed, empty man.
But if he called her, would she be there?
Would she hang up on him. Could she still care?
He needs her love again. She gives him love.
