[Verse 1]
Somebody broke your heart once before, yeah
Now you claim you don't want love no more
Listen, girl, hear what I say
How long do you think you can go on this way?

[Chorus]
You know you can't stand alone no matter how you try
Got to have somebody to love, goes for you & I
(Everybody needs somebody)
(Everybody needs somebody)
(Everybody needs somebody)
All of a sudden you can't stand alone

[Verse 2]
Love brought you heartaches sometime, so wrong, yeah
Don't let it turn your heart into stone
I love you, baby; this you can recognize, yeah
I see a spark of love deep in your eyes

[Chorus]
You know you can't stand alone no matter how you try
Got to have somebody to love, goes for you & I
(Everybody needs somebody)
(Everybody needs somebody)
(Everybody needs somebody)
All of a sudden you can't stand alone
