I'm so glad to be here tonight
I'm glad to be in your wonderful city
And I've got a little message a friend of mine told me a few months back
I'm talking about brother Solomon Burke
You all know him don't ya
These are the words he told me children

Everybody needs somebody
Everybody needs somebody to love
Someone to love, sugar, to kiss, sweetheart, to miss now
And I need (you you you) and I need (you you you)
In the mornin', baby (you you you)
When the sun goes down and nobody else around
Ah sometimes I feel, feel a little sad inside
My baby mistreat me, I'm going out of my mind
I need (you you you), someone to see me through
To hold my hand, try to make me understand

I need you, don't you know I need you?
I need you in the mornin', I need you

Don't you know I need you
Let me hear you say yeah!
Let me hear you say yeah!
(I need you)
You know I need you,
You know I need you, to see me through
