You Might Need Somebody
Shola Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Need somebody

Need somebody
Need somebody

When somebody reaches for your heart
Open up and let them through
'Cause everybody
Needs someone around
Things can tumble down on you

You discover when you look around
You don't have to be alone
Just one lover Is all you need to know
When you're feeling all alone

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 is fire stirring in your heart
And you're sure it's strong and right
Keep it burning through the cold and dark
It can warm a lonely night

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)

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)

Boy, you might need somebody too
Need somebody

Boy, you're gonna need somebody too
Need somebody

You might need somebody too, baby
Need somebody

Know i do

Everybody needs somebody
Need somebody

I know i need somebody

You're gonna need somebody too
Need somebody

Too

I know i do

Need somebody





Too
