Lyrics and translation
Original
Hey!
Oh.
Yeah!
I've been looking for someone to fan the fire and the flame.
We're all looking for something to ease the pain.
Oh, yeah.
And now who can you turn to when it's all black and white?
And the winners and losers you see every night. Hey!
I need somebody, somebody like you. Everybody needs somebody.
Oh, yeah. I need somebody. Hey, what about you?
We all need somebody. Need somebody.
When you're out on the front line and you're watching them fall, doesn't take long to realize it ain't worth fighting for. No!
By the side of the diamonds, yeah, we were walking the room.
And your eyes were like diamonds in the clear light too. Yeah, the clear light through!
I need somebody, somebody like you.
Everybody needs somebody. Oh, yeah.
I need somebody. Now, what about you? We all need somebody.
Yeah!
Whoa.
Every night, another lesson learned.
It's the distance that keeps us sane, yeah.
When the silence leads to sorrow, we do it all again. All again, yeah!
I need somebody, somebody like you.
Everybody needs somebody. Oh, yeah. I need somebody.
Hey, what about you? Everybody needs somebody. Needs somebody!
I need somebody, somebody like you.
Everybody needs somebody.
I need somebody.
Now, what about you? We all need somebody, yeah.
Somebody!
