what if life wasn't long
and everybody just got a single moment?
if you wasted the moment alone
spent your while 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
and you were mine
my shelter from the rain outside
what if life was a car
and 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 awhile?
believe me
everybody needs a lover sometimes
and you were mine
my god by another name
everybody needs a lover sometimes
and you were mine
my shelter from the rain outside
and if you hold on to 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
and you were mine
my shelter from the rain outside
but you stayed
