I need somebody to tell me it's going to be fine
I need somebody with whom to drink a bottle of wine
I need somebody to tell me when I've had enough
And to rescue me when life gets too tough.
I need somebody to not always agree with me
I need somebody to lift the fog when I cannot see
I need somebody but not all the time
Only to lend me a penny when I ain't got a dime.
I need somebody to tell me when time's running out
I need somebody when my mind is full of doubt
I need somebody to make me feel glad I'm still alive
And to pick me up when I'm forced to take a dive.
I need somebody most of the time.
