When You Need Somebody

You and I on a level, baby
Come and climb with me

When you need somebody
When you need somebody

Another day, another heartache
Don't worry, don't worry
Sister, please, your pain will ease

I know it seems so hard
But, girl, I know what you need
If you need someone to count on
Put your trust in me

When you need somebody
I'll be right here
When you need somebody
To wipe away those tears
'Cause I'm not so mean
When you need somebody
On me, you can always lean
I'm not so mean
When you need somebody
No, no

Life is full of confusion
Don't worry, my baby
Your love was real
Some just don't feel

I know it seems so hard
But, girl, I know what you need
You and I on a level, baby
Come and climb with me

When you need somebody
I'll be right here
When you need somebody
To wipe away those tears
'Cause I'm not so mean
When you need somebody
On me, you can always lean
I'm not so mean
When you need somebody
No, no, I'll be right here

One time for your mind, baby
Two times for your soul
Sister, please, your pain will ease
Sister, please, your pain will ease
Sister, please, your pain will ease

When you need somebody
I'll be right here
When you need somebody
Girl, I know what's on your mind, yeah
Don't you worry, baby
I'll be right here
When you need somebody
Oh, oh, I know
When you need somebody
I know, I know what's on your mind, baby
When you need somebody
When you need somebody
Oh, oh
When you need somebody
Everything's alright, yeah
When you need somebody
Ah, ooh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
No, no, no
When you need somebody
Girl, I know, girl, I know you need me
Now, now, now, now, now
When you need somebody
I know it seems so hard
When you need somebody
Girl, I know what you need
When you need somebody

One time for your mind, baby
When you need somebody
Two times for your soul
When you need somebody
