"Everybody Wants Someone" lyrics
Ooh-ooh, everybody wants someone
Everybody wants somebody else to blame it on
When they know they're wrong
Why deceive?
It won't relieve your guilty heart
And you know it
So, what's the use?
Just tell the truth, life will go on
Right or wrong (Ooh-ooh)
Why confess when there's an easy out? (Ooh-ooh-ooh)
Just blame it on someone that you care about
'Cause everybody wants someone
Everybody wants somebody else to blame it on
Everybody needs someone
Everybody needs somebody else to blame it on
When they know they're wrong, to keep going on
What's to discuss? (To discuss)
Everybody's wrong but us (Everybody's wrong but us)
Ain't it funny? (Everybody)
What's even worse
You point the finger first to the one you love (Yeah!)
The one you love, oh
Whatever guilt you're hiding inside yourself
Is what you fear the most from someone else
Someone else
Someone else
'Cause everybody wants someone
Everybody wants somebody else to blame it on
Everybody but yourself (Oh, my baby, yeah)
Everybody needs someone (Needs someone)
Everybody needs somebody else to blame it on (Including me and you)
When they know they're wrong
Why you keep going on? Going on
Going on, going on, ooh
So if you're innocent and you're always being accused
It don't mean I don't love you, you're just being abused
(Oh, why me?) Being abused
(Why me?) Being abused (Why me?)
Everybody wants someone (Oh)
Everybody wants somebody else to blame it on
(Wanna blame it on someone, yeah)
Everybody needs someone (They just need someone)
Everybody needs somebody else to blame it on (Including me and you, baby)
Call this love (Let me go), call this love (Let her go)
Everybody wants someone (It don't mean that I don't love you)
Everybody needs somebody else to blame it on
(It's just that someone else was around to blame it on)
Everybody needs someone (Everybody needs someone)
Everybody needs somebody else to blame it on (Everybody needs somebody)
Everybody wants someone (Everybody wants someone)
Everybody wants somebody else to blame it on
Everybody wants somebody else to blame it on
When they know they're wrong
Why deceive?
It won't relieve your guilty heart
And you know it
So, what's the use?
Just tell the truth, life will go on
Right or wrong (Ooh-ooh)
Why confess when there's an easy out? (Ooh-ooh-ooh)
Just blame it on someone that you care about
'Cause everybody wants someone
Everybody wants somebody else to blame it on
Everybody needs someone
Everybody needs somebody else to blame it on
When they know they're wrong, to keep going on
What's to discuss? (To discuss)
Everybody's wrong but us (Everybody's wrong but us)
Ain't it funny? (Everybody)
What's even worse
You point the finger first to the one you love (Yeah!)
The one you love, oh
Whatever guilt you're hiding inside yourself
Is what you fear the most from someone else
Someone else
Someone else
'Cause everybody wants someone
Everybody wants somebody else to blame it on
Everybody but yourself (Oh, my baby, yeah)
Everybody needs someone (Needs someone)
Everybody needs somebody else to blame it on (Including me and you)
When they know they're wrong
Why you keep going on? Going on
Going on, going on, ooh
So if you're innocent and you're always being accused
It don't mean I don't love you, you're just being abused
(Oh, why me?) Being abused
(Why me?) Being abused (Why me?)
Everybody wants someone (Oh)
Everybody wants somebody else to blame it on
(Wanna blame it on someone, yeah)
Everybody needs someone (They just need someone)
Everybody needs somebody else to blame it on (Including me and you, baby)
Call this love (Let me go), call this love (Let her go)
Everybody wants someone (It don't mean that I don't love you)
Everybody needs somebody else to blame it on
(It's just that someone else was around to blame it on)
Everybody needs someone (Everybody needs someone)
Everybody needs somebody else to blame it on (Everybody needs somebody)
Everybody wants someone (Everybody wants someone)
Everybody wants somebody else to blame it on
