I don't need a ship to sail the ocean
And I don't need fancy clothes to wear
I just need your sweet lips to kiss me
I just need your tender loving care
Winter needs the north wind and the snowflakes
Springtime needs the flowers soft and rare
I just need to feel your arms around me
I just need your tender loving care
The days go by so slow when you're not with me
Nights are long and oh so hard to bear
And everything is nothing, dear, without you
And I'm nothing without your tender loving care
I just need your tender loving care
