Everybody Needs Someone Sometime

Jewel

Mary heard boys talking in voices low
Said she weren't no spring chicken 
Like she didn't already know
So she called up Jack-a from a few years back-a
She turned him down once in his one-room shack
She said, "Now baby, you don't look that bad"

Cause everybody needs someone sometime
Everybody needs someone, can't you see
And everybody needs someone sometime

Mmm, mmm, mmm

Spivey Leeks was a drip of a man
He looked like a potato shoved into jeans-a
He recollects, it weren't that long ago
That he could walk by make the young girls scream, uh
But he thought he'd just let it all slide, let it all pass
Cause he thought love was best on the run, oh
He said, "Now baby, ooh, it don't seem that fun"

Cause everybody needs someone sometime
Everybody needs someone, can't you see
Everybody needs someone sometime

Hey there, Honey Bee
Will you give me, a sugar
And if you shake real cute
I might give you some, ah, sugar
I was doin' alright on my own
But now I just might take you home, sugar

And Sister Mary used to be a nun
She thought that she'd retire and have her some fun
Mr. Joe of the Philadelphia Joes
Well, he worked in the post office all night 
He said, "Hey Sweetheart, you know you look alright"

I said, um
Cause everybody needs someone sometime
Everybody needs someone, can't you see
(Everybody)
And everybody needs someone sometime
Tip-ooh-oh

(Everybody needs someone)
Cause everybody needs someone sometime
Everybody needs someone, can't you see
(Everybody)
Everybody needs someone sometime

Everybody needs someone sometime, oh, yeah
Everybody needs someone sometime…oh, she'll
(Everybody, time)
Everybody needs someone sometime…yah, yeah
(Everybody, time)
Everybody needs someone sometime, oh, say, um
(Everybody, time)
Everybody needs someone sometime
