Lyrics
[Verse 1]
When I look into your eyes
I can see a love restrained
But darlin' when I hold you
Don't you know I feel the same?
Yeah
[Verse 2]
Nothin' lasts forever
And we both know hearts can change
And it's hard to hold a candle
In the cold November rain
[Verse 3]
We've been through this such a long, long time
Just tryin' to kill the pain, oh yeah
[Verse 4]
But lovers always come and lovers always go
And no one's really sure who's letting go today
Walking away
[Verse 5]
If we could take the time to lay it on the line
I could rest my head just knowing that you were mine
All mine
So if you want to love me
Then darlin' don't refrain
Or I'll just end up walking
In the cold November rain
[Verse 6]
Do you need some time... on your own?
Do you need some time... all alone?
Ooh, everybody needs some time... on their own
Ooh, don't you know you need some time... all alone?
[Verse 7]
I know it's hard to keep an open heart
When even friends seem out to harm you
But if you could heal a broken heart
Wouldn't time be out to charm you?
[Verse 8]
Sometimes I need some time... on my own
Sometimes I need some time... all alone
Ooh, everybody needs some time... on their own
Ooh, don't you know you need some time... all alone?
[Verse 9]
And when your fears subside
And shadows still remain, oh yeah
I know that you can love me
When there's no one left to blame
So never mind the darkness
We still can find a way
Nothin' lasts forever
Even cold November rain
[Verse 10]
You're not the only one
You're not the only one
[Verse 11]
Don't ya think that you need somebody?
Don't ya think that you need someone?
Everybody needs somebody
You're not the only one
You're not the only one
[Verse 12]
Don't ya think that you need somebody?
Don't ya think that you need someone?
Everybody needs somebody
You're not the only one
You're not the only one
[Verse 13]
Don't ya think that you need somebody?
Don't ya think that you need someone?
Everybody needs somebody
You're not the only one
You're not the only one
[Verse 14]
Don't ya think that you need somebody?
Don't ya think that you need someone?
Everybody needs somebody
