STANDING IN THE NEED OF LOVE
(Traditional / Arr: Carl Perkins)

Carl Perkins - 1979


It ain't my brother, ain't my sister
But it's me, Oh Lord
Standing in the need of love

It ain't the Preacher, ain't the Deacon
But it's me, Oh Lord
Standing in the need of love

Well, it's me (It's me)
It's me, Oh Lord
Standing in the need of love

It's me (It's me)
It's me, Oh Lord
Standing in the need of love

When I get to singin'
Get to feelin' good
Standing in the need of love

Yeah, I could live it better
If I only would
Standing in the need of love

Woh, it's me (It's me)
It's me, Oh Lord
Standing in the need of love

It's me (It's me)
It's me, Oh Lord
Standing in the need of love

Get it!.......(Instrumental Break)

Well, my ol' guitar makes me happy
But I'm all alone
Standing in the need of love

When I get to pickin'
It's the same old song
Standing in the need of love

Woh, it's me (It's me)
It's me, Oh Lord
Standing in the need of love

I said it's me (It's me)
It's me, Oh Lord
I'm standing in the need of love

Well, it's me, it's me
It's me, Oh Lord
And I'm standing in the need of love

Nobody but me, yes me
Dang me, Oh Lord
Standing in the need of love

It's me (It's me)
It's me, Oh Lord
Standing in the need of love

I said it's me (It's me)
Well it's me, Oh Lord
And I'm I'm Standing in the need of love

Ho, it's me, it's me
It's me, Oh Lord
Standing in the need of love

Lookin at me (It's me)
Little me, Oh Lord
Standing in the need of love

Well, it's me, it's me
It's me, Oh Lord
Standing in the need of love

It's me, it's me
It's me, Oh Lord
Standing in.......FADE
