Lyrics
Everybody needs to care
For somebody
All your dreams were meant to share
With somebody
Someone to have a midnight cup of tea with
To have and hold and sometimes disagree with
Yes, it’s wonderful to live
For somebody
And the most you have to give
Is your love
In a cabin or castle
Even though you rise or fall
Without somebody
You’re nobody at all
