Lyrics:

People in love think about each other
Oh, every minute of the day
When people in love start thinking about each other
Oh, you can almost hear them say, hey
"I would walk across the ocean
If you needed me in London
I would fly upon a mountain
If somebody took the notion"
Oh, them people in love
People in love give up their freedom
And put their hearts upon a shelf
But I got my freedom and I still got my heart
Oh, but Lord, I ain't got nothing else
Oh, I wish a thousand times that I was people in love
And I'd walk across the ocean
I would fly upon a mountain
If somebody took the notion
Oh, but there ain't nobody got a notion 'bout me anymore
And I'm crying, yeah

People in love don't know what it is
To cry every night for somebody going by
But let me tell you people, all you lucky people
Thank your heavens that you've got somebody
Who would walk across the ocean
If they needed you in London
Who would fly upon a mountain
If somebody took the notion
Oh, everybody needs somebody and I ain't no exception
And I'm crying all the harder 'cause I want somebody to love me
Oh, everybody needs somebody
And I ain't no exception
