Everybody Needs Somebody

I have a confession to make. I've never actually seen this movie. I've seen clips from it, it's been on TV enough times, and I've meant to see it plenty of times. I just never have gotten around to doing so, something else has always come up, or I've just plain forgotten about it. Still, I do love this song, especially the introduction. The lyrics don't really do the song justice, you gotta hear it to love it. But here they are anyway:

Everybody Needs Somebody by The Blues Brothers

We’re so glad to see so many of you lovely people here tonight, and we would especially like to welcome all the representatives of Illinois’ law enforcement community who have chosen to join us in the Palace Hotel ballroom at this time. We do sincerely hope you’ll all enjoy the show, and please remember people, that no matter who you are, and what you do to live, thrive and survive, there are still some things that make us all the same. You, me, them, everybody, everybody...

Everybody needs somebody
Everybody needs somebody to love (someone to love)
Sweetheart to miss (sweetheart to miss)
Sugar to kiss (sugar to kiss)
I need you you you
I need you you you
I need you you you in the morning
I need you you you when my soul’s on fire

Sometimes I feel
I feel a little sad inside
When my baby mistreats me
I never never never have a place to hide
I need you

Sometimes I feel
I feel a little sad inside
When my baby mistreats me
I never never never have a place to hide
I need you you you
I need you you you
I need you you you
I need you you you
I need you

You know people when you do find that somebody
Hold that woman, hold that man
Love him, hold him, squeeze her, please her, hold her
Squeeze and please that person, give ’em all your love
Signify your feelings with every gentle caress
Because it’s so important to have that special somebody
To hold, kiss, miss, squeeze and please

Everybody needs somebody
Everybody needs somebody to love
Someone to love
Sweetheart to miss
Sugar to kiss
I need you you you
I need you you you
I need you you you...
