Mary heard boys talking in voices low
Said she weren`t no spring chicken
Like she didn`t already know
So she called up Jack from a few years back
She turned him down once in his one room shack
She said "Now baby, you don`t look that bad"
[CHORUS:]
Cuz everybody needs someone sometime
Everybody needs someone, can`t you see?
Everybody needs someone sometime
Spivy Leaks was a drip of a man
He looked like a potato shoved into jeans
He recollects it wasn`t that long ago
That he could walk by
Make the young girls scream
But he thought he`d just let it all slide
Let it all pass
Cuz he thought love was best on the run
He said "Now baby, it don`t seem that fun"
[CHORUS]
[BRIDGE:]
Hey there honeybee
Will you give me...sugar?
And if you shake real cute
I might give you some sugar
I was doin` alright on my own
Now I might just take you home sugar
Sister Mary used to be a nun
She thought that she`d retire and have her some fun
Mr. Joe of the Philadelphia Joes
Well he walked in the post office one night
He said "Hey sweetheart, you know you look alright"
[CHORUS to fade]
