Where's love when you need it?
Seems like it's never around
And when you don't need it
There's plenty to be found
And when you need a gentle hand to hold
Or arms that will hold you tight
You can turn over every single rock and stone
But there's never any love in sight

Where's love when you need it?
Where's the love that you need?
You can look everywhere for an angel's heart
But where will your searching lead?
It's like looking for a pirate's treasure
But without a secret map to read
So you can't find the X that marks the spot
To help you find the love (Help you find the love)
Help you find the love you need

Where's love when you need it?
I wonder where it might be
And where is the woman with a heart of gold
To make your dream reality
And what's a lonely man to do
When he has no one to call his own
Must he wander all around this great big world
By himself and all alone

Where's love when you need it?
Where's the love that you need?
You can look everywhere for an angel's heart
But where will your searching lead?
Show me where a man might find some love
And tell me how he should proceed
To find the one who will give her heart
And help him find the love (Help him find the love)
Help him find the love he needs
