As the sun it rises in the east
As my lover steals the sheets from me again
The synchronicity of life it never ends
The responsibilities of life we can't escape
But when the day is done
And you're all alone
Everyone needs someone to hold
All I know... is
Everybody needs a little love
Everybody needs some help from above
Everybody needs a little love
To keep them goin', goin', goin'
On and on
No man or woman ever has to be alone
Isolation breaks the heart and starves the soul
This crazy world just can't seem to get me down
When I got my lover by me
And all my friends around
Now every one
Could have someone
But you can only find it
When you really open up
Everybody needs a little love
Everybody needs some help from above
Everybody needs a little love
To keep them goin', goin', goin'
On and on
The tiny town
The great big city
Rich or poor
It doesn't matter really
Deep inside it's all the same
We can't survive without the thing we crave
And it's love, love, love
Now take it from my heart baby
Everybody needs a little love
Everybody needs some help from above
Everybody needs a little love
To keep them goin', goin', goin'
On and on
