That's The Kind Of Love I Need

(album: Latin Ala G! - 2015)

You gotta love what you're doing and not know why
You gotta feel like you're having a ball
You gotta see why it is that you feel like this
And why it is you can feel it at all
You're at an age where apparently yes be heard
But you must not as it were be seen
(In the clothes you wear
You just can't go there
It's strictly for a teen)

You wanna roll with the punches and not lay down
You wanna laugh when the bill it arrives
You wanna roar like a lion that's in the sand
And make a beeline for one of its hives
You have a partner you live with who'd like to wed
Whereas for you you don't see the point
Why a signature tying you to her
When you're already joined

Knew now even if it leaves you cold
Knew even if it's hot
Knew now were it to be found that it's all around
Why's it so hard to spot
Knew the moment that I asked you out
Hoping to succeed
Knew that even when you said that was off my head
(That's) the kind of love I need

You wanna blow out the candle at either end
And then regret it the minute it's done
You wanna reel off a list of your favourite words
With expletive your favourite one
You wanna look like you know what they're on about
In the house when they have a debate
You can bless my soul if you're on a roll
Or even on a cake

Knew the time I left the door unlocked
Knew and that being the case
Knew I had to scurry back or an empty flat
Might be what I had to face
Knew the moment that you caught my eye
And you paid no heed
Knew that in my heart of hearts, along with other parts
(That's) the kind of love I need

For a moment there it felt like
Maybe something had gone wrong
But no sooner had I felt it
When I felt that it had gone
Who with hand on heart could ever claim
In love the path is always smooth

Oh, oh, oh, oh...

Knew the moment I went out the door knowing I'd be late
Knew that even if my boss would at first be cross
It's a line that he has to take
You make it plain if our loves to last
As has been decreed
If it makes a better man of the one I am
(That's) the kind of love I
(That's) the kind of love I
(That's) the kind of love I need
