I've spent my life trying to tell everyone I've got myself I don't need anyone You heard the words but you looked in my eyes And saw the wall of 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 The days were empty, the nights were so long I wished on every star til you came along I knew that one day 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 Now when you see me cry You'll only see tears of joy in my eyes In a world of lonely people looking for love I wish everyone could be as lucky as us
