A man could build a city
Write a book or sing a diddy
I can mention quite a few
? But
(He needs someone to love)

A man can be a tailor
Or a soldier or a sailor
He can even fly up in the skyway but
(He needs someone to love)

He could span the oceans
Start a nation with a notion
Like Columbus he'll discover something but
(He needs someone to love)
(For if he's all alone)
(What good are these wonderful things)
(He needs someone to love)

A girl can take an empty room
And she can make it very soon
Into a new enchanted heaven but
(She needs someone to love)

She can be a herione
And beat most any fellow
In the way cook the finest dinner but
(She needs someone to love)

She can be the? string
Change a beggar to a king
Most anything a girl can manage but
(She needs someone to love)
(For if she's all alone)
(What good are these wonderful things)
(She needs someone to love)

And just as long as time shall be
You'll find that he will always need a she

Everybody everyday just longs to hear somebody say
I love you won't you please be mine alone
(We need someone to love)
(For if we're all alone)
(What good are these wonderful things)
(We need someone to love)

(So if you'll be my own)
(We'll share all these wonderful things)
(We'll have someone to love)
(We'll have someone to love)
