Lyrics
I know I've been mean to you lately
And I made you so sad
And I know your love was true, baby
And this makes me feel bad
'Cause now I see I'm about to lose you
And it's driving me mad
You're all I ever had, girl
Everybody needs somebody like you, oh baby
Everybody needs somebody, and I need you
You know, darlin'
Hadn't thought much about it when I left you behind
But now I'm almost certain, baby
When I left, you were cryin'
Oh, I ask myself, how could I do it?
How could I be so blind?
So selfish and unkind
'Cause everybody needs somebody like you
You'd better believe, darlin'
Everybody needs somebody, and I need you
Ooh yeah, ooh yeah
Everybody needs somebody like you
Somebody to live
Take these arms and hold you tight
And these lips that can explain
How someone that means you right
Can cause you so much pain
Oh, the only plea to enter for myself
Is that I'm not to blame
Temporarily insane, girl
Everybody needs somebody like you, oh baby
Everybody needs somebody, and I need you
Yes, I do, darlin'
Everybody needs somebody like you
Oh baby, I need you
