Lyrics

Need Someone

[Verse 1]

From where you stand

There's no way to change it

No way to make it make sense

And it's lonely there

There in the spotlight

Well, honey, don't I understand?

[Chorus]

You

You need someone to love you

You need someone to hold you

Tonight

Someone to love you

Someone to love you

Someone to love you

[Verse 2]

When you look at me

And try hard to hide it

Try hard to keep it all in

Well, I found you out

Discovered your secrets

Well, honey, it ain't a sin

[Chorus]

But you

You need someone to love you

You need someone to hold you

Tonight

Someone to love you

Oh, someone to love you

Someone to love you

[Bridge]

Oh-oh, yeah

It doesn't have to be me

Who

[Chorus]

But you

You need some one to love you

You need someone to tell you

That everything is alright

Someone to love you

Someone to love you

Someone to love you
