Everybody Needs

[Verse 1]

Oh, I'm gonna bet you that heartaches

And true love and feeble excuses

For repressed desire adds fuel to the fire

And the human condition goes on

And goes on and goes on

[Chorus]

Everybody needs it

Everybody needs

Everybody needs it

Everybody needs

[Verse 2]

And I get so blue

When I'm stuck all day in school

And I get so blue

When I'm stuck all day in school

And I stare at the back of my old notebook

And the teacher gives me a dirty look

And I've got just one thing on my mind

No matter how hard I try and try

I feel like someone else

And I feel like someone else

[Refrain]

Everybody needs

[Verse 3]

Big boy, real cool

You can tell he's no one's fool

And he tries so hard

To come off like a star

You can tell by the way he combs his hair

By the cocky grin and that moody stare

By the way he leans and juts out his hip

And you think any second that he might slip

But he feels like someone else

And he feels like someone else

[Pre-Chorus]

I know what's on his mind

I know what's on his mind

[Chorus]

Everybody needs it (Everybody needs it)

Everybody needs (Everybody needs)

Everybody needs it (Everybody needs it)

Everybody needs (Everybody needs)

Everybody needs it (Everybody needs it)

Everybody needs (Everybody needs)

Everybody needs it (Everybody needs it)

Everybody needs (Everybody needs)

[Post-Chorus]

And I'm gonna bet you that I know

What's on your mind

Pretty baby, and I, oh, I'm

Gonna bet you that I know

What's on your mind

Pretty baby, and I know

What's on your mind

Pretty baby, I—

[Verse 4]

Young girl, so wild

She wears a ponytail

And she cooks inside

With a passion she can't hide

And she's got that juju in her eyes

Makes boys and old men come alive

And she knows the power that she possesses

When they start to melt under her caresses

She feels like someone else

She feels like someone else

[Pre-Chorus]

I know what's on her mind

I know what's on her mind

[Chorus]

Everybody needs it (Everybody needs it)

Everybody needs (Everybody needs)

Everybody needs it (Everybody needs it)

Everybody needs (Everybody needs)

Everybody needs it (Everybody needs it)

Everybody needs (Everybody needs)

Everybody needs it (Everybody needs it)

Everybody needs (Everybody needs)

[Verse 5]

True love and virtue

Gets put in a closet

Like Jekyll and Hyde

When it starts, you can't stop it

No need to feel guilty

'Cause you're not alone

When the fire consumes you

And nature takes over

[Bridge]

(The heartache and true love

And feeble excuses)

And I'm gonna bet you that I know

What's on your mind

(For repressed desires add fuel to the fire)

Pretty baby, and I'm

(When the fire consumes you

And nature takes over)

Gonna bet you that I know

What's on your mind

(And the human condition goes on

And goes on and goes on)

Pretty baby, and I know

What's on your mind

(And goes on and goes on

And goes on and goes)

[Chorus]

Everybody needs it (Everybody needs it)

Everybody needs (Everybody needs)

Everybody needs it (Everybody needs it)

Everybody needs (Everybody needs)

Everybody needs it (Everybody needs it)

Everybody needs (Everybody needs)

Everybody needs it (Everybody needs it)

Everybody needs (Everybody needs)

[Outro]

Everybody needs
