Everybody Needs Someone Sometime - Jewel

Mary heard boys talking in voices low

Said she weren’t no spring chicken

Like she didn’t 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 don’t look that bad

Cuz everybody needs someone sometime

Everybody needs someone can’t you see

Everybody needs someone sometime

Spivy Leaks was a drip of a man

He looked like a potato shoved into jeans

He recollects it wasn’t that long ago

That he could walk by*

Make the young girls scream

But he thought he’d just let it all slide

Let it all pass

Cuz he thought love was best on the run

He said now baby* it don’t seem that fun

Cuz everybody needs someone sometime

Everybody needs someone can’t you see

Everybody needs someone sometime

(Bridge)

Hey there* honeybee

Will you give me… sugar

And if you shake real cute, I might give you some*sugar

I was doin’alright on my own

Now I might just take you home*sugar

Sister Mary used to be a nun

She thought that she’d retire and have her some fun

Mr. Joe of the Philadelphia Joes

Well he walked in the post office one night (this is the only line I’m not sure

of)

He said hey sweetheart you know you look all right

I said

Everybody needs someone sometime

Everybody needs someone can’t you see

Everybody needs someone sometime

(Repeat chorus till fade out)
