People Need Love Lyrics

[Chorus: Björn, Benny, Agnetha & Frida]
People need hope, people need loving
People need trust from a fellow man
People need love to make a good living
People need faith in a helping hand

[Verse 1: Björn & Benny and Agnetha & Frida]
Man has always wanted a woman by his side to keep him company
Women always knew that it takes a man to get matrimonial harmony
Everybody knows that a man who's feeling down wants some female sympathy
Gotta have love to carry on living
Gotta have love till eternity

[Chorus: Björn, Benny, Agnetha & Frida]
People need hope, people need loving
People need trust from a fellow man
People need love to make a good living
People need faith in a helping hand

[Post-Chorus: Björn, Benny, Agnetha & Frida]
La la la la, la la la la-la
La la la la la la la-la la la
La la la la, la la la la-la
La la la la la la la-la la la

[Verse 2: Björn & Benny and Agnetha & Frida]
Flowers in a desert need a drop of rain like a woman needs her man
If a man's in love and his woman wants the moon then he'll take it down if he can
Somebody who loves you and somebody who cares, isn't that what you call a friend?
Gotta have love to carry on living
Isn't it easy to understand?

[Chorus: Björn, Benny, Agnetha & Frida]
People need hope, people need loving
People need trust from a fellow man
People need love to make a good living
People need faith in a helping hand

[Post-Chorus: Björn, Benny, Agnetha & Frida]
La la la la, la la la la-la
(People need loving, yeah)
La la la la la la la-la la la
(People need love)
La la la la, la la la la-la
(People need loving, yeah)
La la la la la la la-la la la

[Chorus: Björn, Benny, Agnetha & Frida]
People need hope, people need loving
(People need loving, yeah)
People need trust from a fellow man
(People need love)
People need love to make a good living
(People need loving, yeah)
People need faith in a helping hand

[Post-Chorus: Björn, Benny, Agnetha & Frida]
La la la la, la la la la-la
(People need loving, yeah)
La la la la la la la-la la la
(People need loving, yeah)
La la la la, la la la la-la
(People need loving, yeah)
La la la la la la la-la la la

[Outro: Björn, Benny, Agnetha & Frida]
La la la la, la la la la-la
La la la la la la la-la la la
La la la la, la la la la-la
La la la la la la la-la la la
La la la la, la la la la-la
La la la la la la la-la la la

About

This song bio is unreviewed

As the majority of ABBA songs were, “People Need Love” was written and composed by the two male band members, Benny Andersson and Björn Ulvaeus. It was engineered by Michael Tretow who aimed to create a Phil Spector-like wall of sound on the recording. The song begins in the key of B major and modulates up to C♯ major for the final chorus.

Although their debut album did not bring them to global attention, it follows some standards of ABBA’s style. The ballad is about what people can give each other to make their lives easier and create a better world.
