| 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
|

|

|
| 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
|
