Everybody Needs Someone Sometime

Mary heard boys talkin' in voices low

Saying 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"

CHORUS

'Cause everybody needs someone sometime

Everybody needs someone, can't you see

Everybody needs someone sometime

Spivey Leeks 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

'Cause he thought love was best on the run

He said, "Now baby, it don't seem that fun"

CHORUS

Hey there, Honey Bee

Will you give me... sugar

And if you shake real cute

I might give you some... sugar

I was doing alright on my own but now I just might 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 worked in the Post Office all night

He said, "Hey Sweetheart, you know you look alright"

CHORUS
