I need love - Luka Bloom

I need love - Luka Bloom

06 december 2014
Covers, dat blijft een gevaarlijk terrein. De lengte van de lijst met gevallen waarin het behoorlijk misging is zorgelijk lang dus zo eenvoudig als het klinkt ('ah, liedje is er al, hoef ik het alleen maar opnieuw op te nemen') is het blijkbaar niet. Maar gelukkig zijn er natuurlijk de uitzonderingen die die regel overheerlijk bevestigen. Zo hebben we de sympathieke Ierse bard die LL Cool J even mooi het nakijken geeft.

When I'm alone in my room sometimes I stare at the wall
and in the back of my mind I hear my conscience call
telling me I need a girl who is as sweet as a dove
for the first time I can see I need love
there I was joking at the games
so many hearts, and I'm not saying no names
a thought occured, tears made my eyes burn
I said to myself look what you've done to her
I can feel it inside, I can't explain how it feels
all I know is that I'll never dish another raw deal
playing make believe pretending that I'm true
holding in my laugh as I say I love you
saying amor and whisper in your ear
I say I love you, I will always be here
although I often reminsce I can't believe that I found
a desire for true love floating around
inside my soul because my soul is cold
half of me deserves to be this way until I'm old
the other half needs affection and joy
the warmth created by a girl and a boy
I need love

Romance sheer delight how sweet
I gotta find me a girl who can make my life complete
scratch my back, get cozy and huddle
I would lay down my jacket you can walk in the puddle
I'll give you a rose, pull out your chair before we eat
kiss you on the cheek "ooh girl you're so sweet"
it's deja vu whenever I'm with you
I could go on forever telling you what I do
but where the hell are you, neither here or not there
I swear I can't find you anywhere
you're not in my closet, or under my rug
and this love search it's really making me bug
so if you know who you are why don't you make yourself seen
take chance with my love, you'll see what I mean
fantasies can run but they can not hide
and when I find you I would pour my love inside
I need love

I'm gonna kiss you, hold you, never scold you
suck on you neck, caress and hug you
grind and moan and never be alone
if you're standing next to me or on the phone
can't you hear it in my voice, I need you so bad
I've got money but love's something I've never had
I need your ruby red lips sweet face and all
I love you more than a man who's 10 feet tall
I'd watch the sunrise in your eyes
so in love when we hug I feel paralyzed
our bodies explode in ecstasy unreal
you're as soft as a pillow, I'm as hard as steel
it's a dream I can't lie because I've never been there
this is an experience that you and me can share
clean, unsoiled yet sweaty and wet
I swear to you this is something I will never forget
I need love, I need love

You see I've changed I'm no longer
a playboy of the world I need something that's stronger
friendship, trust, respect and admiration
this whole experience is such a revelation
taught me love and how to be a real man
always be considerate and do all I can
protect you you're my lady and you mean so much
my body tingles all over at the slightest touch
of your hand and understand I'll be frozen in time
till we meet face to face and you tell me you're mine
when I find you I swear I'll be a good man
I'm not gonna leave it in destiny's hands
I can't sit and wait for my princess to arrive
struggle and fight to keep my dream alive
I'll search the world for that special girl
when I find you and watch this love unfurl
I need love, I need love

Girl, listen to me
if you're out there, please, make yourself seen
I need love, I need love, I need love, I need love
