Everybody Needs Lyrics - Oingo Boingo

I'm gonna bet you that heartaches 

and true love and feeble excuses 

For repressed desire adds fuel to the fire 

And the human condition goes on and goes on and goes on 

(Chorus) 

Everybody needs it 

Everybody needs 

Everybody needs it 

Everybody needs 

And I get so blue when I'm stuck all day in school 

And I get so blue when I'm stuck all day in school 

And I stare at the back of my old notebook 

And the teacher gives me a dirty look 

And I've got just one thing on my mind 

No matter how hard I try and try 

I feel like someone else 

I feel like someone else 

Everybody needs 

Big boy, real cool, you can tell he's no one's fool 

And he tries so hard to come off like a star 

You can tell by the way he combs his hair 

By the cocky grin and that moody stare 

By the way he leans and juts out his hip 

And you think any second that he might slip 

But he feels like someone else 

And he feels like someone else 

I know what's on his mind 

I know what's on his mind 

(Repeat Chorus) 

And I'm gonna bet you that I know what's on your mind 

Pretty baby, I'm gonan bet you that I know what's on your mind 

Young girl, so wild, she wears a ponytail 

And she cooks inside with a passion she can't hide 

And she's got that ju-ju in her eyes 

Makes boys and old men come alive 

And she knows the power that she possesses 

When they start to melt under her caresses 

She feels like someone else 

She feels like someone else 

I know what's on her mind 

I know what's on her mind 

(Repeat Chorus) 

True love and virtue get put in a closet 

Like Jeckyll and Hyde, when it starts you can't stop it 

No need to feel guilty, 'cause you're not alone 

When the fire consumes you and nature takes over 

The heartache and true love and feeble excuses 

For repressed desires add fuel to the fire 

When the fire consumes you and nature takes over 

And the human condition goes on and goes on and goes on 

(Repeat Chorus) 

Everybody needs
