Description

A folk song/love song--written in the Midwest during the early 1970s--about what a person actually needs "to live from day to day".

Lyrics

Oh, I never needed much
To live from day to day
Some bread, a pad, some freedom
To eat, to live and to play
But now I need you, woman
Oh, I need your love
You'd really make me feel good
I wish you'd let me hug.

And you know I saw your beauty
The first day I did notice you
I couldn't wait to hold you
But when I touched you, you refused
I get so weary, woman
Of traveling alone
I don't believe in marriage
I don't wish you to own.

And I know your man fulfills you
I know you can't be warm to all
And I know you do not love me
Or long to kiss me on the floor
But if just one evening
With nothing else to do
You'd come and let me hold you
I wouldn't sing the blues.

Yes, I never needed much
To live from day to day
Some bread, a pad, some freedom
To eat, to live and to play
But now I need you, woman
Oh, I need your love
You'd really make me feel good
I wish you'd let me hug.
