[Verse 1]
I've been lookin' for someone
Between the fire and the flame
We're all lookin' for somethin'
To ease the pain

[Verse 2]
Now who can you turn to
When it's all black and white
And the winners are losers
You see it every night
Oh, yeah!

[Chorus]
I need somebody
(Somebody like you)
Everybody needs somebody
I need somebody
(Hey, what about you)
Everybody needs somebody, oh

[Verse 3]
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
[Verse 4]
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

[Chorus]
I need somebody
(Somebody like you)
Everybody needs somebody (Oh, yeah)
I need somebody
(Hey, what about you)
We all need somebody (Hey)

[Guitar Solo]

[Bridge]
(Yeah)
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)

[Chorus]
I need somebody
(Somebody like you)
Everybody needs somebody (Oh, yeah)
I need somebody
(Oh, what about you)
Everybody needs somebody (Hey)
I need somebody
(Somebody like you)
Everybody needs somebody
(I need somebody)
I need somebody
(Yeah, what about you, yeah)
We all need somebody (Hey, go on)
I need somebody
Everybody needs somebody
I need somebody (Hey)
Everybody needs somebody
