Songtext Everybody needs a lover Timothy B. Schmit

Everybody needs a lover

(t. b. schmit/w. jennings/b. gaitsch)

Sadie made it down in hollywood
She worked real hard and she did real good
Now the years are finally coming down
Oh, though she owns this whole town

Shes living and shes dying
She spent her whole time trying
Seems like even when you do it
Then you find out you can go right through it

Everybody needs a lover
Everybody needs a friend
Everybody needs a lover
To keep them moving til the end

Stevie won it all in rock and roll
Had it right down in his soul
Still has to face the day
Oh, some blues wont play

Hes living and hes dying
Hes spent his whole life trying
Seems like even when you do it
Then you find out you can go right through it

Everybody needs a lover
Everybody needs a friend
Everybody needs a lover
To keep them moving til the end

Buy the papers and I read them all day
Wonder when theyre gonna blow it away
Working hard just to keep myself sane
But some days its all pain

Everybody needs a lover
Everybody needs a friend
Everybody needs a lover
To keep them moving til the end
