Everybody
I have to confess that the following song is one of my favorites.
In spite of this, favorite songs don’t normally occupy my mind for the length of waking and ‘odd-moment’ time that this one has of late.
Of course I’ll share the lyrics with you–as if you ever thought that I wouldn’t.
Everybody
He was sittin there telling me how people walk away.
That’s not right.
He needs some love in his life.
Oh yeah.It feels so good to be loved by someone,
To be held by someone.
How about you?
Everybody needs someone to hold on to.
{Everybody needs…}
Everybody needs someone to love them true.
{Everybody…}
Everybody needs someone to treat them right.
{How about you…}
How about you?
{How about you…}
How about you?
It’s so unbelieving how people can say,
They want to be like Jesus but they still turn away.
That’s not right.
They need some change in their lives.
Gotta do right…ummmm.
It feels so good to be loved by someone,
to be held by someone.
How about you?
{Everybody…}
Everybody needs someone to hold on to.
{You know, everybody…}
Everybody needs someone to love them true.
{Everybody needs someone, uh-huh…}
Everybody needs someone to treat them right.
{…treat ‘em right…yes they do…}
How about you?
{yes they do…yes they do…}
How about you?
{yes they do…}
{Everybody…}
Everybody needs someone to hold on to.
{Hold on to…}
Everybody needs someone to love them true.
{I wanna change my ways…}
Everybody needs someone to treat them right.
{Everybody needs…yes they do…}
How about you?
How about you?
{Oh yeah, yeah, yeah…}
{…}
It feels so good to be loved by someone,
To be held by someone.
How about you-you-you-you?
{Everybody…}
Everybody needs someone to hold on to.
{You gotta love, right…}
Everybody needs someone to love them true.
{Oh you taught me how to be there…yes you did…}
Everybody needs someone to treat them right.
{How about you…}
How about you?
{My brothers…}
How about you?
{Oh, My sisters…}
{Everybody…}
Everybody needs someone to hold on to to.
{Don’t turn away, no…}
Everybody needs someone to love them true.
{Everybody needs someone, oh, yes they do…}
Everybody needs someone to treat them right.
{and He loves you right…}
How about you?
{In the morning…}
How about you?
{In the evening…in the nighttime, too…}
{Hey! Everybody!}
Everybody needs someone to hold on to.
{Don’t turn away…}
Everybody needs someone to love them true.
{Everybody needs…}
Everybody needs someone to treat them right.
{How about you?}
How about you?
{How about you?}
How about you?
For me, personally, this is one of those songs which inspires hours of introspection.
How about you?
