I've spent my life trying to tell everyone

I've got myself I don't need anyone

You heard the words but you looked in my eyes

And saw the wall of tears I was hiding behind

You reached for me I felt your touch

I wanted you we both needed so much

In a world of lonely people looking for love

Why was I surprised to see it happen to us

Everybody needs someone to love

Everybody wants to love someone

When the nights are long and cold

Everybody needs someone to love

Nobody wants to be alone

When you needs someone to hold

Nobody wants to be alone

The days were empty the nights were so long

I wished on every star til you came along

I knew that some day you'd walk through that door

Sometimes it's hard but love is worth waiting for

Everybody needs someone to love

Everybody wants to love someone

When the nights are long and cold

Everybody needs someone to love

Nobody wants to be alone

When you needs someone to hold

Nobody wants to be alone

Now when you see me cry

You'll only see tears of joy in my eyes

In a world of lonely people looking for love

I wish everyone could be as lucky as us

Everybody needs someone to love

Nobody wants to be alone

Everybody wants to love someone

When the nights are long and cold

Everybody needs someone to love

Nobody wants to be alone

When you needs someone to hold

Nobody wants to be alone

Everybody needs someone to love

Nobody wants to be alone

Nobody wants to be alone
