What if life wasn't long
everybody got just a single moment?
if you wasted the moment alone
spent your whole time thinking:
"why should I need love?"
then look above to the sky and beyond
cause you don't know what you've got
'til it's gone, believe me
Everybody needs a lover sometimes
and you were mine
my God by another name
everybody needs a lover sometimes
you were mine
my shelter from the rain
outside
What if life was a car
you didn't really know how to start it
would you sit in your car like a clown
or get out and walk to the nearest crowded bar?
and kiss a mouth
make it smile and be proud
that at least you had a good time for a while?
believe me
Everybody needs a lover sometimes
and you were mine
my God by another name
everybody needs a lover sometimes
you were mine
my shelter from the rain
outside
And if you hold onto me now
and never let go
then I guess at least we'll know
the sense that it all made
oh
Cause everybody needs a lover sometimes
and you were mine
my God by another name
everybody needs a lover sometimes
you were mine
my shelter from the rain
outside
And you stayed
everybody got just a single moment?
if you wasted the moment alone
spent your whole time thinking:
"why should I need love?"
then look above to the sky and beyond
cause you don't know what you've got
'til it's gone, believe me
Everybody needs a lover sometimes
and you were mine
my God by another name
everybody needs a lover sometimes
you were mine
