Everybody Needs Someone Sometime

Mary heard boys talking in voices low

Said she weren't no spring chicken

Like she didn't already know

So, she called up Jack from a few years back

She turned him down once in his one room shack

She said, now baby, you don't look that bad

'Cause everybody needs someone sometime

Everybody needs someone, can't you see?

Everybody needs someone sometime

Mm-mm

Spivey Leaks was a drip of a man

He looked like a potato shoved into jeans

He recollects it wasn't that long ago

That he could walk by

Make the young girls scream

But he thought he'd just let it all slide

Let it all pass

'Cause he thought love was best on the run

He said, now baby, ooh, it don't seem that fun

'Cause everybody needs someone sometime

Everybody needs someone, can't you see?

Everybody needs someone sometime

Hey there, honeybee

Will you give me sugar?

And if you shake real cute

I might give you some sugar

I was doin' alright on my own

Now I might just take you home, sugar

Sister Mary used to be a nun

She thought that she'd retire and have her some fun

Mr. Joe of the Philadelphia Joes

Well, he walked in the post office one night

He said, hey sweetheart, you know you look alright

I said

'Cause everybody needs someone sometime

Everybody needs someone, can't you see?

(Everybody, now)

Everybody needs someone sometime

2, 3, 4

'Cause everybody needs someone sometime

(Everybody needs someone)

Everybody needs someone, can't you see?

Everybody needs someone sometime

(Everybody)

Everybody needs someone sometime, oh yeah

Everybody needs someone sometime, I said

(Everybody, now)

Everybody needs someone sometime, yeah

(Everybody, now)

Everybody needs someone sometime, oh, I said

(Everybody, now)

Everybody needs someone sometime
