Mavis Staples - Everybody Needs Love Lyrics

Mavis Staples Lyrics

"Everybody Needs Love"
(originally by Eddie Hinton)

The moonbeams we can dream on
When the working day is done
And the stars we can wish upon
At the setting of the sun
The sunsets we can cry over
Putting our troubles on the run
But more than all these miracles above
Good people, we gotta love

Everybody needs love, love, love
Everybody needs love, love, love
Everybody needs love, love, love
Just like we need the sun and moon and stars up above

And nobody ever found happiness
Living their lives all alone
Walk around like I didn't need nobody
To be happy and belong
One fine day I found myself in trouble
Way down without a friend
Along came the love of a real good friend
Said they would love me 'til the end

Everybody needs love, love, love
Everybody needs love, love, love
Everybody needs love, love, love
Just like they need the sun and moon and stars up above

Everybody needs love, love, love
Everybody needs love, love, love
Everybody needs love, love, love
Everybody needs love, love, love
Everybody needs love, love, love
Everybody needs love, love, love
Everybody needs love, love, love
Just like they need the sun and moon and stars up above

Everybody needs love, love, love
Everybody needs love, love, love
Everybody needs love, love, love
Everybody needs love, love, love
Everybody needs love, love, love
Everybody needs love, love, love
Everybody needs love, love, love
Just like they need the sun and moon and stars up above
