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 (I need you you you)  
When my soul’s on fire (I need you you you)

Sometimes everything is wrong  
Now it’s time to sing along  
When your day is night alone (hold on, hold on)  
If you feel like letting go (hold on)  
If you think you’ve had too much  
Of this life, well hang on

'Cause everybody hurts  
Take comfort in your friends  
Everybody hurts

Love hurts, love scars  
Love wounds and marks  
Any heart  
Not tough or strong enough

You love her  
But she loves him  
And he loves somebody else  
You just can’t win  
And so it goes  
Till the day you die  
This thing they call love  
It’s gonna make you cry  
I’ve had the blues  
The reds and the pinks  
One thing for sure  
Love stinks

Lover, I’m off the streets  
Gonna go where the bright lights  
And the big city meet  
With a red guitar, on fire  
Desire

Bright light city gonna set my soul  
Gonna set my soul on fire  
Got a whole lot of money that’s ready to burn  
So get those stakes up higher

Bright lights and the big city  
It belongs to us tonight  
Yes I need it  
Everybody does  
Cocktails and conversation  
Music and making love  
And it’s alright

Most any afternoon at five,  
We’ll be so glad we’re both alive.  
Then maybe fortune will complete her plan,  
That all began,  
With cocktails for two.

I don’t ask that my field’s full of clover  
I don’t moan at opportunity’s door  
And if you ask my advice, take it slower  
Then your story’d be your finest reward.

I’ve been thinking about our fortune  
And I’ve decided that we’re really not to blame  
For the love that’s deep inside us now  
Is still the same  
And the sound we make together  
Is the music to the story in your eyes  
It’s been shining down upon you now, I realize

I can see you ain’t foolin’ me  
I ain’t blind

Hey Nikita, is it cold  
In your little corner of the world?  
You could roll around the globe  
And never find a warmer soul to know  
Oh, I saw you by the wall  
Ten of your tin soldiers in a row  
With eyes that looked like ice on fire  
The human heart, a captive in the snow

There won’t be any trumpets blowing come the judgment day.  
On the bloody morning after,  
One tin soldier rides away.
