I don't need to mention
When I need attention
You already know
And I love the way your green eyes
Light up when they see mine
It's like comin' home
You're John Wayne tough
But when you're with me
You treat me like a queen
Like I'm your everything
I ain't lettin' go

We all should have somebody
Makes us feel like we're somebody
Every me needs you, every pair needs two
Every June needs a little Johnny Cash
Every Rose needs a Jack
Makes you dance, makes you smile, makes you laugh
Every Rose needs a Jack
That'll love you if it all goes bad
Every Rose needs a Jack

I know we got a good thing

Boy, I'm all in
And babe, you make me better

Yeah, you just say when

We all should have somebody
Makes us feel like we're somebody
Every me needs you, every pair needs two
Every June needs a little Johnny Cash
Every Rose needs a Jack
Makes you dance, makes you smile, makes you laugh
Every Rose needs a Jack
That'll love you if it all goes bad
Every Rose needs a Jack

Every June needs a little Johnny Cash
We all should have somebody
Makes us feel like we're somebody

Gabby always sings her heart out! She has her own sound and this lady can sing anything. I'm in love with the entire album. I'm certain it will go platinum also. Cade and Gabby have a mutual love of Christ and that will be their guiding light. I'm so happy that Cade will be with the band now, Cade adds a special touch and edgy flavor to the band, it's a perfect blend that gives listeners a bonus of magical sounds to be enjoyed and it entices you to come back for more. Congratulations on your most recent successes of gold and platinum for "I Hope".๐Ÿ’œ๐Ÿ™๐ŸŽถ๐Ÿ’ž๐ŸŽถ๐Ÿ’ช๐ŸŽค๐ŸŽธI'm a fan forever. God bless you and the entire band.
