Oingo Boingo - Everybody Needs Lyrics
Im gonna bet you that heartachesAnd true love and feeble excusesFor repressed desire adds fuel to the fireAnd the human condition goes on and goes on and goes on(chorus)Everybody needs itEverybody needsEverybody needs itEverybody needsAnd I get so blue when Im stuck all day in schoolAnd I get so blue when Im stuck all day in schoolAnd I stare at the back of my old notebookAnd the teacher gives me a dirty lookAnd Ive got just one thing on my mindNo matter how hard I try and tryI feel like someone elseI feel like someone elseEverybody needsBig boy, real cool, you can tell hes no ones foolAnd he tries so hard to come off like a starYou can tell by the way he combs his hairBy the *****y grin and that moody stareBy the way he leans and juts out his hipAnd you think any second that he might slipBut he feels like someone elseAnd he feels like someone elseI know whats on his mindI know whats on his mind(repeat chorus)And Im gonna bet you that I know whats on your mindPretty baby, Im gonan bet you that I know whats on your mindYoung girl, so wild, she wears a ponytailAnd she cooks inside with a passion she cant hideAnd shes got that ju-ju in her eyesMakes boys and old men come aliveAnd she knows the power that she possessesWhen they start to melt under her caressesShe feels like someone elseShe feels like someone elseI know whats on her mindI know whats on her mind(repeat chorus)True love and virtue get put in a closetLike jeckyll and hyde, when it starts you cant stop itNo need to feel guilty, cause youre not aloneWhen the fire consumes you and nature takes overThe heartache and true love and feeble excusesFor repressed desires add fuel to the fireWhen the fire consumes you and nature takes overAnd the human condition goes on and goes on and goes on(repeat chorus)Everybody needs
