Everybody Needs Somebody (I Need You)

I know I've been mean to you lately

And I made you so sad

And I know your love was true, baby

And this makes me feel bad

'Cause now I see I'm about to lose you

And it's driving me mad

You're all I ever had, girl

Everybody needs somebody like you, oh baby

Everybody needs somebody, and I need you

You know, darlin'

Hadn't thought much about it when I left you behind

But now I'm almost certain, baby

When I left, you were cryin'

Oh, I ask myself, how could I do it?

How could I be so blind?

So selfish and unkind

'Cause everybody needs somebody like you

You'd better believe, darlin'

Everybody needs somebody, and I need you

Ooh yeah, ooh yeah

Everybody needs somebody like you

Somebody to live

Take these arms and hold you tight

And these lips that can explain

How someone that means you right

Can cause you so much pain

Oh, the only plea to enter for myself

Is that I'm not to blame

Temporarily insane, girl

Everybody needs somebody like you, oh baby

Everybody needs somebody, and I need you

Yes, I do, darlin'

Everybody needs somebody like you

Oh baby, I need you
