abba grubu henüz abba adını almadan önce, "björn, benny, agnetha, anni-frid" olarak anılırken, 1972 yılında yayımladıkları 45'liklerinde yer alan şarkılardan biri. 45'liğin diğer şarkısı ise "mary-go-round".

people need love

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

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

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

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 laa...

flowers in the 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 it down if he can
somebody who loves you and somebody who cares
isn't that what you'd call a friend?
gotta have love to carry on living
you can have peace if you understand

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

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 laa...

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

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 laa...
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 laa...
