Words and Music by Neil Diamond and Jesse Diamond

Ev'rybody needs someone that they're gonna believe in.

Ev'rybody's the same around the world.

If you wanna find someone, then you only have to show it.

Nothin's sadder than love that's left unheard.



Me, how I tried to deny that it pointed to you.

Too many roads up ahead lookin' shiny and new.

Ev'rybody needs someone, but it's gotta mean something.

Giving up a piece of you's the hardest part.

If you wanna have someone, then you really got to know it.

Doesn't take very much to break a heart.

May I get lost in your eyes for a lifetime or two?

Something about you and I leads me right to the truth.



Some people always got something they got left to say.

Some need to keep it inside; they just wanna hide away.



And I'm glad I have you there, 'cause I would've been nowhere.

Bein' here all alone's a lonely sound.



Ev'rybody needs someone that they're gonna believe in.

Ev'rybody's the same around the world
