A lot of sad and dreary faces here tonight
Guess they started out feelin' alright
Girls with the blues, makeup on their face
And boys, missin' love so bad I hear them say
I need a lover, I need a friend
I need someone who ain't runnin' away
Everyone needs a friend sometimes
To wake you up and sing the lullabies
Everyone needs a friend sometimes
That's what it's all about
Alright
You know that
When you check it out, you will know
That there's no one for you to lean on
'Cause everybody got to do it their way
So come on down, baby, come on, get it alright
I need a lover, you need a friend
I need someone who ain't runnin' away
Everyone needs a friend sometimes
To wake you up and sing the lullabies
Everyone needs a friend sometimes
That's what it's all about
That's right
But I know...
You need a lover, and I need a friend
I need someone who ain't runnin' away, 'cause
Everyone needs a friend sometimes
To wake you up and share the lullabies
Everyone needs a friend sometimes
That's what it's all about
Everyone needs a friend sometimes
Wooh, I don't wanna walk on down the line
(Everyone needs a friend sometimes, everybody)
Yeah, I'm singin' out loud
Everyone needs a friend sometimes (Everyone needs a friend)
Sweet talkin'
Everyone needs a friend sometimes (Oh, yes they do)
That's what it's all about
(Everyone needs a friend sometimes)
To wake you up and share the lullabies
