Everybody needs someone
That they`re gonna be leaving
Everybody`s the same around the world
If you wanna find someone
Then you only have to show it
Nothing`s sadder than love that`s left unheard
Me, how I try to deny
That it pointed to you
Too many roads up ahead
Looking shiny and new
Everybody needs someone
But it`s gotta mean something
Giving up a part of you`s the hardest part
If you wanna have someone
Then you really gotta know it
Doesn`t take very much to break a heart
May I get lost in your eyes
For a lifetime or two
Something about your and I
Leads me right to the truth
Some people always got
Some thing they`ve got left to say
Some need to keep it inside
They just wanna hide away
And I`m glad I have you there
`Cause I would have been nowhere
Being here all alone`s a lonely sound
Everybody needs someone
That they`re gonna be leaving
Everybody`s the same around the world
