As she looks out of the window the tears begin to fall
Then she looks around the room where people think she has it all
But the big old house get lonely without some loving tenderness
'Coz her old man thinks that love's a brand new dress
He gives her everything she wants but nothing she needs
She wants some loving arms around her when she's down on her knees
And if she heard the words I love you oh every now and then
You'd see the fire in her eyes light up again
That's all she needs
She puts on her make up and wipes away the tears
He never was the passionate kind but it's got worse down the years
Then her man comes through the door he just nods as he says hi
She's all made up but can't see a reason why
He gives her everything she wants but nothing she needs
She wants some loving arms around her when she's down on her knees
And if she heard the words I love you oh every now and then
You'd see the fire in her eyes light up again
That's all she needs
Another lonely evening comes and goes without a trace
He's sound asleep the TVs on not even one embrace
She looks in the mirror wondering what she has to do
To make him see the woman in you
He gives her everything she wants but nothing she needs
She wants some loving arms around her when she's down on her knees
And if she heard the words I love you oh every now and then
You'd see the fire in her eyes light up again
That's all she needs
