[Verse 1]
Hard to feel when you can't love
Hard to see when you've given up
Getting lost like a big black dog
Chasing down old memories
The ones buried underneath
Retribution for the cause

[Chorus]
Gonna need someone (Need someone)
Gonna need someone (Need someone)
You gonna need someone
Someone to love
You gonna need someone (Need someone)
Gonna need someone (Need someone)
You gonna need someone
Someone to love

[Verse 2]
It becomes the overkill
Leaving all your love in the dust
Breaking down on the way
No one left for you to trust

[Chorus]
Gonna need someone (Need someone)
Gonna need someone (Need someone)
You gonna need someone
Someone to love
You gonna need someone (Need someone)
Gonna need someone (Need someone)
You gonna need someone
Someone to love
[Bridge]
Black dog in the rain
Black dog in the rain
Black dog in the rain

[Chorus]
You gonna need someone (Need someone)
Gonna need someone (Need someone)
You gonna need someone
Someone to love
You gonna need someone (Need someone)
Gonna need someone (Need someone)
You gonna need someone
Someone to love
Gonna need someone (Need someone)
Gonna need someone (Need someone)
You gonna need someone
Someone to love
You gonna need someone (Need someone)
Gonna need someone (Need someone)
You gonna need someone
Someone to love
