Jackie Deshannon - What The World Needs Now - The Definitive Collection [compilation] (2003) by Jackie Deshannon (보컬) on maniadb.com

I saw him today
I saw his face
It was a face I loved
And I knew

I had to run away
And get down on my knees
And pray that they'd go away

But still they begin
Needles and pins
Because of all my pride
The tears I gotta hide

Hey, I thought I was smart
I'd win his heart
And I didn't think I'd lose
But now I see

She's more to him than me
Let him go ahead
Take her love instead
And one day, he will see

Just how to say please
Oh, and get down on his knees
Hey, that's how it begins
He'll feel those needles and pins
Hurting him, hurting him

Why can't I stop
And tell myself I'm wrong
I'm wrong, so wrong
Why can't I stand up
And tell myself I'm strong

Because I saw him today
I saw his face
It was a face I loved
I can't let go

Although I know
He'll make me cry
Oh, whoa, whoa
Til the day I die

But, people
I got to live now
And Lord knows
I should forgive now

Yeah, when it begins
He'll feel those needles and pins
Hurting him, oh, stop it now

Stop those needles
Stop those pins

Don't let them begin
Oh, won't you hear what I say
Somebody, take em away

Stop em now, stop em
Stop those needles and pins
Yeah, yeah, oh, when it begins
I feel those needles and pins

I can see a new expression on my face
I can feel a strange sensation taking place
I can hear the guitars playing lovely tunes
Everytime that you walk in the room
I close my eyes for a second and pretend
It's me you want
Meanwhile I try to act so nonchalant
I see a summer night with a magic moon
Everytime that you walk in the room
Maybe it's a dream come true
Standing right alongside of you
Wish I could show you how much I care
But I only have the nerve to stare
I can feel that something pounding in my brain
Just anytime someone speaks your name
Trumpets sound and I hear thunder boom
Everytime that you walk in the room
Everytime that you walk in the room

What the world needs now is love, sweet love
It's the only thing that there's just too little of
What the world needs now is love, sweet love
No, not just for some but for everyone

Lord, we don't need another mountain
There are mountains and hillsides enough to climb
There are oceans and rivers enough to cross
Enough to last 'til the end of time

What the world needs now is love, sweet love
It's the only thing that there's just too little of
What the world needs now is love, sweet love
No, not just for some but for everyone

Lord, we don't need another meadow
There are cornfields and wheat fields enough to grow
There are sunbeams and moonbeams enough to shine
Oh listen, Lord, if you want to know

What the world needs now is love, sweet love
It's the only thing that there's just too little of
What the world needs now is love, sweet love
No, not just for some, oh, but just for every, every, everyone

What the world needs now is love, sweet love (Oh, is love)
What the world needs now is love, sweet love (Oh, is love)
What the world needs now is love, sweet love (Oh, is love)

Any day now I will hear you say
"Goodbye, my love"
And you'll be on your way
Then my wild beautiful bird
You will have flown, oh
Any day now I'll be all alone
Whoa-oa-oa-oa-oa

Any day now, when your restless eyes
Meet someone new
Oh, to my sad surprise
Then the blue shadows
Will fall all over town, oh
Any day now love will let me down
Whoa-oa-oa-oa-oa

I know what life has done to you
Things haven't been much fun for you
That's why you went away
And now, I'm all alone
I wasn't meant to be on my own

Turn back, turn back
And come and get me
Oh, come and get me
Take me along
I don't care where you lead me
If you leave me
It can't be wrong
Just to be with you
There's no place in this world
That I wouldn't go

This time isn't the time for you
You have to be where the skies are blue
And here, the skies are gray
Darling, I understand
Don't you need someone to hold your hand

Turn back, turn back
And come and get me
Oh, come and get me
Take me along
I don't care where you lead me
If you leave me
It can't be wrong
Just to be with you
There's no place in this world
That I wouldn't go

Oh, please, won't you tell me
Where you've gone to, gone to
If I knew where you were I'd be right there
Please, send me hope to be hanging onto
Just to show me you care
