I spent my life trying to tell everyone
I got myself
I don't need anyone
You heard my words
But you looked in my eyes
And saw through all the 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 need someone to hold
Nobody wants to be alone

The days were empty
The nights were so long
I wished on every star until you came along
I knew that someday
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 need someone to hold
Nobody wants to be alone
Now when you see me cry
You'll only 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
Everybody wants to love someone
When the nights are long and cold

Everybody needs someone to love
Nobody wants to be alone
When you need someone to hold
Nobody wants to be alone

Everybody needs someone to love
Nobody wants to be alone
Nobody wants to be alone
