  • I've been lookin' for someone
    Between the fire and the flame
    We're all lookin' for something
    To ease the pain

    Now who can you turn to
    When it's all black and white
    And the winners are losers
    You see it every night

    I need somebody
    Somebody like you
    Everybody needs somebody
    I need somebody
    Hey what about you
    Everybody needs somebody, oh

    When you're out on the front line
    And you're watchin' them fall
    It doesn't take long to realize
    It ain't worth fightin' for, oh

    I thought I saw the Madonna
    When you walked in the room
    Well your eyes were like diamonds
    And they cut right through, oh they cut right through

    I need somebody
    Somebody like you
    Everybody needs somebody, oh yeah
    I need somebody
    Hey what about you
    We all need somebody, hey

    Another night, another lesson learned
    It's the distance keeps us sane
    But when the silence leads to sorrow
    We do it all again, all again yeah

    I need somebody
    Somebody like you
    Everybody needs somebody, oh yeah
    I need somebody
    Oh what about you
    Everybody needs somebody

    I need somebody
    Somebody like you
    Everybody needs somebody
    Need somebody
    I need somebody
    Yeah what about you baby
    We all need somebody
    I need somebody
    Everybody needs somebody
    I need somebody (hey)

  • Miles from Vancouver, CanadaA fun and beautiful rocker! I never tire of it (well, except if the radio edit comes on). Bryan, you butchered that song with your 1998-2002 band.
