Intro   

 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 here 

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.

1. Refrain

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, in the morning.

(I need you, you, you) 

When my soul's on fire.

1. Strophe

  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.

Instrumental 

2. Strophe

  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!

Bridge:

You know people when you do find somebody,

hold that woman, hold that man,

love him, please him, squeeze her, please her.

Hold, squeeze and please that person, 

give them 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.

2. Refrain

 Everybody  needs somebody,

everybody  needs somebody to love. 

Someone to love.

Sweetheart to miss. 

Sugar to kiss.

I need you, you, you.

Coda

I need you, you, you. 

I need you, you, you.

I need you, you, you.

I need you, you, you.

I need you, you, you.

I need you, you, you, in the morning.

  When my soul's on fire.

  When there ain't no one around.

I need you, you, you, you.

I need you, you, you, you.

I need you, you, you.

I need you!
