We gon' do something a little different for y'all on this song
Because me and my mama was watching the news the other day
And we saw a lot of things that's going on in the world
And mama just happen to just come up with some lyrics to a song
She said, "I want y'all to sing this song for me on this CD
'Cause y'all never sung a song for me before"
And um, this is written by mama
And this is what mama told me to tell y'all
She said...
We all need
That kind of love
That special love
The love from above
We all need
That kind of love
That special love
The love from above
Look into the mirror of life
And tell me what you see
I see people all over the world
Who need to know the meaning of love
Let me tell you what real love is all about
If you see your man down
Don't step on him
Reach down and pick him up
Pick him up
Give him a helping hand
We all need
That kind of love
That special love
The love from above
We all need
That kind of love
That special love
The love from above
See that mother over there
Struggling to survive
She has about five little children
No food or clothes to put on their backs
And what you should do
If you see somebody like that
You should go up to them
Lend them a helping hand
Or put a roof over their head
'Cause the world needs a little love like that
We all need
That kind of love
That special love
The love from above
We all need
That kind of love
That special love
The love from above
We all need
That kind of love
That special love
The love from above
We all need
That kind of love
That special love
The love from above
We all need
That kind of love
That special love
The love from above
We all need
That kind of love
That special love
The love from above
We all need
That kind of love
That special love
The love from above
