lyrics

I've gotta say it – who needs love?
I'm wondering if I'm empty of
That rough emotion, now that I'm
Rebuilding what it broke last time

It's overrated – who needs love?
It’s run its course, I’ve had enough
It's never worth it – I shoulda known
It's safer now to live alone

When you got it you can’t get around it
When you lose it you’re sorry you found it
Stuck without it you covet and crave it
Stop and save the fall

But when it shines I can forget, somehow
Yeah, who needs some loving now?

I'm devastated – who needs love?
Too far to fall from up above
It's temporary, edged with pain
Remind me when I fall again

When you got it you can’t get around it
When you lose it you’re sorry you found it
Stuck without it you covet and crave it
Who can brave it now?

But when she smiles it’s like the sun comes out
Yeah, who needs some loving now?
And when it shines I can forget, somehow
Yeah, who needs some loving now?
