Hey there people here I come
Step the side, Donkeyboys ain't what you want

But sometimes, I need somebody who can make me feel alright,
And shades me from the streetlights
I'm breaking up, I need someone who needs somebody now
People change, change because of who I am
If you don't, than you and I won't get along

But sometimes, I need somebody who can make me feel alright,
And shades me from the streetlights
I'm breaking up, I need someone who needs somebody now

I need somebody who can make me feel alright,

And shades me from the streetlights.
I'm breaking up, I need someone who needs somebody now

All these thoughts come too my head

But sometimes, I need somebody who can make me feel
Alright,
And shades me from the streetlights
I'm breaking up, I need someone who needs somebody now

I need somebody who can make me feel alright,
And shades me from the streetlights




I'm breaking up, I need someone who needs somebody now
Make me feel alright.

I played this song for my father and he liked it. I remember he said that before he died in 2011.

RIP: Father George ♥️

I feel like I'm a only Polish person, who likes Donkeyboy.

I hope I'm not the only one.
