Lyrics

[Intro]

We're so glad to see so many of you lovely people here tonight

And we would especially like to welcome all the representatives of Illinois' Law Enforcement Community

Who have chosen to join us here in the Palace Hotel Ballroom at this time

We do sincerely hope you all enjoy the show

And please remember people, that no matter who you are

And what you do to live, thrive and survive

There are still some things that make us all the same

You, me, them, everybody, everybody

[Chorus]

Everybody needs somebody

Everybody needs somebody to love

Someone to love (Someone to love)

Sweetheart to miss (Sweetheart to miss)

Sugar to kiss (Sugar to kiss)

I need you, you, you

I need you, you, you

I need you, you, you

In the morning (You, you, you)

When my soul's on fire (You, you, you)

[Chorus]

Sometimes I feel

I feel a little sad inside

When my baby mistreats me

I never-never-never have a place to hide

I need you

[Bridge]

Sometimes I feel

I feel a little sad inside

When my baby mistreats me

I never-never-never find a place to hide

I need you, you, you

I need you, you, you

I need you, you, you

I need you, you, you

I need you

[Bridge]

You know people, when you do find somebody, hold that woman, hold that man

Love him, please him, squeeze her, please her

Hold, squeeze and please that person, give 'em all your love

Signify your feelings with every gentle caress

Because it's so important to have that special somebody

To hold, kiss, miss, squeeze and please

[Chorus]

Everybody needs somebody

Everybody needs somebody to love (Everybody)

Someone to love (Needs somebody)

Sweetheart to miss (Everybody)

Sugar to kiss (Needs somebody)

[Chorus]

I need you, you, you

I need you, you, you

I need you, you, you

I need you, you, you

I need you, you, you (Everybody)

I need you, you, you (Needs somebody)

I need you, you, you (Everybody)

I need you, you, you (Needs somebody)

In the morning (Everybody)

When my soul's on fire (Needs somebody)

When there ain't no one around (Everybody)

[Outro]

I need you, you, you, you (Needs somebody)

I need you, you, you, you (Everybody)

I need you, you, you (Needs somebody)

I need you
