Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
When somebody reaches for your heart
Open up and let them through
'Cause everybody needs someone around
Things can tumble down on you
You'll discover when you look around
You don't have to be alone
Just one lover is all you need to know
You might need somebody
You might need somebody. Too
(You might need somebody, too)
You might need somebody
You might need somebody, too
(You might need somebody, too)

If there's fire stirring your heart
And you're sure it's strong and right
Keep it burning through the cold and dark
It can warm your lonely nights, oh
