70's/80's Song ID

I was at our local hardware store tonight when I heard a song on the MUZAK system that has been haunting me for a while now. Its from the the mid to late 70’s, possibly the early 80’s. The harmony sounds a lot like Journey in their song “Feeling that Way”

Anyway, the song starts like “When I was young, I fooled around…” and the chorus is at least 3 part harmony singing “ooooh I want you” and “ooooh I need you”

How is that for a description? I know it is not “Fooled around and fell in love”. Any help is greatly appreciated.

“I Love You” - Climax Blues Band

Additional info:

Went to #12 in 1981. It was their last chart hit.
