Solomon Burke - Everybody Needs Somebody to Love lyrics
I'm so happy to be here tonight
 so glad to be here in your wonderful city
 I have a little message for you
 and I want to tell every woman and every man tonight
 that's ever needed someone to love
 that's ever had somebody to love them
 that ever had somebody's understanding
 that's ever had someone to need your love all the time
 someone that's with them when they're up
 somebody that's with them when they're down
 if you had yourself somebody like this you better hold onto them
 let me tell you something
 sometimes you get what you want
 and you lose what you have
 there's a song I sing
 and I believe that everybody should sing this song you can save the whole world
 listen to me
 Everybody needs somebody
 Everybody needs somebody
 Everybody wants somebody to love
 Honey to hug
 Sugar to kiss
 Baby to miss now
 Baby to tease
 sometimes to please yeah
 and I need you you you
 and I need you you you
 in the morning baby you you you
 when the sun goes down you you you
 ain't no nobody around you you you
 Whoa Sometimes I feel like
 I feel a little sad inside
 When my baby mistreats me
 And I can't get a little little mad
 but I need you you you
 Just to see me through
 somebody to hold my hand
 when I feel a little lonely
 oh baby say yeah
 I say yeah yeah
 yeah
 somebody
 I just want my woman to stand up and say I love you
 I want someone to be a witness
 I just want to say I love you
 I just want somebody to say yeah
