Lyrics[]
[Verse 1]
Every time I wake up next to you, I talk to God
And I'm so damn grateful, 'cause you make up for all the things I'm not
Didn't know I need nothing, 'til I needed you
In a world that's spinnin', it ain't easy lettin' go
Eight billion people always just lookin' for hand to hold
Everyone's tryna find someone to hold on to
[Pre-Chorus]
It's okay, it's okay, we all try to pretend that we're brave
When I awake, I'm stronger, because of you at end of the day
[Chorus]
Everybody need somebody (Everybody need somebody)
Somebody will remind you, that you're not alone
Who gon' defend you like the army and never let go (Nevеr let go)
Everybody need somebody (Evеrybody need somebody)
Somebody to wake up to when everyone's gone
So if you need me, then you got me (If you need me, then you got me)
I'll be the shoulder that you cry on
Everybody need some
Everybody need some
[Verse 2]
Every time I look at you, I'm lookin' at a star
It's the way you light up every room just being who you are
Didn't know I need nothing, 'til I needed you
But before I met you, I never believed in magic
But you stole my heart before anyone knew you had it
I know that you know, that what we got, it don't come easy
[Pre-Chorus]
It's okay, it's okay, we all try to pretend that we're brave
When I awake, I'm stronger, because of you at end of the day
[Chorus]
Everybody need somebody (Everybody need somebody)
Somebody will remind you, that you're not alone
Who gon' defend you like the army and never let go (Never let go)
Everybody need somebody (Everybody need somebody)
Somebody to wake up to when everyone's gone
So if you need me, then you got me (If you need me, then you got me)
I'll be the shoulder that you cry on
Everybody need some
Everybody need some somebody
