mary heard boys talkin in voices low
saying she werent no spring chicken
like she didnt already know
so she called up jack from a few years back
she turned him down once in his one-room shack
she said, "now baby, you dont look that bad"
cause everybody needs someone sometime
everybody needs someone, cant you see
everybody needs someone sometime
spivey leeks was a drip of a man
he looked like a potato shoved into jeans
he recollects, it wasnt that long ago
that he could walk by, make the young girls scream
but he thought hed just let it all slide, let it all pass
cause he thought love was best on the run
he said, "now baby, it dont seem that fun"
cause everybody needs someone sometime
everybody needs someone, cant you see
everybody needs someone sometime
