Lyrics

Everybody Needs Somebody To Talk To
words & music by Joe Chinnici c2001

Took a trip across America
Found a place where we could live
It wasn?t far from where we started
But it was miles from where we?d been ? oh
The people stopped to say ?How have you been??
They really took us by surprise
They knew how to make the most of living
And how to look us in the eye

So tell me why, why do we look away
To get away with not saying ?How are you??
And tell me why, do we have to be that way?
To have a shoulder with a chip
Everybody needs somebody to talk to ? yeah they do

We packed our bags and moved out to the sticks
The people were far and few between
It wasn?t far from where we started
But it was miles from where we?d been ? oh
The neighbors stopped to say, ?You?re welcome here.?
They really took us by surprise
They showed us how to make the most of living
And how to look?em in the eye

Heading home to see old friends
Walking the streets, I can?t catch me an eye

Why do you look away
To get away with not saying ?How are you??
And tell me why, do you have to be that way?
To have a shoulder with a chip
Everybody needs somebody to talk to

Why do we look away
To get away with not saying ?How are you??
And tell me why, do we have to be that way?
To have a shoulder with a chip
Everybody needs somebody to talk to ? yeah they do
Everybody needs somebody to talk to
