Lyrics

Everybody Needs Somebody (Alternative Recording)

[Verse 1]

Life on your own don't really make you free

Can't put your arms around a memory

A little bit of soul is worth more than gold

[Chorus]

Everybody needs somebody

Everybody needs somebody

Everybody needs somebody, I need you

[Verse 2]

The lonely days and nights won't fade with dreams

I've loved and lost and I do believe

A little bit of soul is worth more than gold

[Chorus]

Everybody needs somebody (Ooh, ah)

Everybody needs somebody (Ooh, ah)

Everybody needs somebody, I need you (Ah)

[Instrumental Break]

[Chorus]

Everybody needs somebody (Ooh, ah)

Everybody needs somebody (Ooh, ah)

Ooh yeah (Ah)

I said everybody needs somebody, I need you

[Instrumental Break]

[Bridge]

We got to get together, babe

Wе got to get together, babе

We got to get together, babe

We got to get together, babe

We got to get together, babe

We got to get together, babe

We got to get together, babe

We got to get together, babe

We got to get together, babe (Oh)

We got to get together, babe (Oh)

We got to get together, babe (Oh)

We got to get together, babe (Oh)

We got to get together, babe (Oh)

We got to get together, babe (Oh)

We got to get together, babe (Oh)

We got to get together, babe (Oh)

[Outro]

Do-do-do, do-do-do (Oh)

Do-do-do, do-do-do (Oh)

Do-do-do, do-do-do (Oh)

Do-do-do, do-do-do (Oh)
