"I Needed Somebody" lyrics
"I Needed Somebody"
Left home early one mornin'
Against my bible wheel
This town is too small for me
And my life was standin' so still
The bright light in the big city
I heard them calling out my name
I heard them calling out my name
I made up my mind
Sure I wouldn't gonna turn around this time
Oh, it's gettin' lonely sometime
In this great big old lonely town
Seems like everything I do go wrong
Ain't nobody
Nobody else to blame
Nobody but me
Nobody but me
What about that time I needed somebody (needed somebody)
Yes, I did (needed somebody)
Need me or help me (ooh ooh)
I tell you I needed somebody (needed somebody, needed somebody, ooh)
Help me if you can (ooh ooh ooh)
Take my trembling hand
Got so discourage one day
I call my mother
I've told her I'll come back home
You know my mother told me
Child, you've been gone for too long
You didn't write, you didn't even think to call
Whole lot of thing around this whole place they changed
Child, didn't change
Then she told me something
[?]
Said, it been almost a year
When since your father died
Reverent Gred was that only someone to come around
To give my soul concelation
It mean that he's true mature of the time
Yes, he did
But about that time my mother told me
She needed somebody (needed somebody)
Yes, she did (needed somebody)
[?] helping hand (ooh)
She told me she needed somebody (needed somebody, needed somebody, ooh ooh)
Take her trembling hand (ooh ooh ooh)
Help her if you can
Needed somebody (needed somebody)
Yes, she did (needed somebody)
Listen help her through the night if she needed somebody (ooh ooh)
Uh, she needed somebody (needed somebody)
Yes, she did (needed somebody, ooh ooh)
Take her trembling hand (ooh ooh ooh)
Help her if you can...
