Everybody needs some time on their own all alone / Everybody needs to be greeted by a smile once in a while / Everybody needs a friend someone to count on who will be there / Everybody needs a late night listener who will hear and steer you clear / Chorus / I don't know how I know but I know that it is true / I don't know how I know but I know that I need you / Everybody needs someone to hold on to late at night, until the morning light / Everybody needs to be held by that same someone in that same light / Chorus / Everybody needs somebody like you
