Lyrics
I'm so glad to be here tonight
(Yeah)
I'm so glad to be home
And I got a message for every woman and every man tonight
That ever needed somebody to love
(Is that right?)
Someone to love them really bad
Someone to please them all the time
(Oh, yeah, woo-hoo-hoo)
Someone to push them when they're down
And someone to talk to them when they're up
(Yeah, hey)
You be that somebody all the time
(Yeah)
You'll be really happy
You know, sometimes you get what you want
(Whoa, yeah, woo-hoo, oh, yeah, ooh, oh)
But you lose what you have
Leave everybody here, this'll be my song tonight
To save the whole world
(Woo)
Everybody needs somebody
Everybody needs somebody to love
(Yeah)
Somebody to love
Somebody to kiss (Oh, kiss)
Sometime to miss, now (Oh)
Someone to tease (Hee)
Someone to please
I need you, you, you
I need you, you, you
I need you, you, you
I need you, you, you, oh
(Oh, and I need you, you, you, oh)
Sometimes I feel
(Ah-ah-ah)
I feel a little sad inside
(Woo-ooh)
My baby mistreats me
And I can't get a little. little churn
I need you, you, you
I need you, you, you
I love you
(Ooh, ah, yes)
Let me hear you say yes
Let me hear you say yes
Yes, let me hear you say ah, yes
Yeah, 'cause I need you
(Woo)
Let's talk about it
Let me hear you say yes
About your love
Somebody to kiss
I need you, you, you
Someone to miss
I need you, you, you
Somebody to squeeze
I need you, you, you
Someone to please
I need you, you, you
(Ah)

(Yeah)
Somebody to love, yes

Oh, yeah, somebody to love

Somebody to hold
(Oh, someone to hold)
Oh when we grow old, all I want
(Oh, yeah)
Ah, yes
I need you, somebody to love
I need you, you, you
I need you, you, you
(Please, please, please, please, come on)
I need you, you, you
I need you, you, you
I need you, you, you
