We tried to make
ourselves pay
For somethin'
we've never done
We threw the best parts
of life away
On street talk
strangers and drugs
What we really want is love
What we really need is love
Want to call out your name
I want to hold out my hand
The woman silent
in the mirror tonight
Wants to talk
to your mirror man
And what we really want is love
What we really need is love
We are ships in the night
The water's deep in between
The air is freezin'
And we can't find the light
So we sail off into our dreams
And what we really dream
is love
What we really need is love
What we want is love
What we need is love
I tried to make it feel right
In someone else's world
Sat and looked out
my window last night
And knew that things
had changed for this girl
'Cause what I really found
is love
What I really feel is love
What we really want is love
What we really need is love
What we want is love
What we need is love
