Everybody Needs Love
Jennifer Hudson(제니퍼 허드슨) Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Everybody needs some love
Needs someone whom they can trust
Someone they can love for life
Even when the times get rough
We can make it work
And we can find love
If we try we can fly high and touch the sky
Oh, yes we can
We can do it if we try
It's up to you and I, sing

[Chorus]
Everybody, everybody,
Somebody who needs love
If you want it, you can get it
Just trust and believe love
Wave your hands in the air
Scream more, I need love
I need love

Only wants to be loved,
Lonely nights been at home
Waiting by the phone, oh no
All we gonna do is trust,
We can make it work
We can find love
If we try we can fly high and touch the sky
Oh, yes we can
We can do it if we try
It's up to you and I sing

[Chorus]

If you work hard every day, let me hear you say
I need love, need love
If you're sick and tired to be lonely, let me hear you say
I need love, need love

I know it's a lot of you out there
Who think they can't find love,
But I'm here to tell you
If you want it, you can have it
Just believe it





[Chorus: x2]
