You can laugh and joke and make fun of your friends
|
Spin in the middle when the troubles begin
|
Take it nice and easy and always pretend
|
That you're cool, so cool, so cool
|
|
Say I'm alone and I'm wild and I will not be tamed
|
Talk like a jerk or an educated brain
|
Be an old girl drivin' the young boys insane
|
Be a joker, a preacher, it does not matter
|
|
Chorus:
|
Every one needs a hand to hold on to
|
Every one needs a hand to hold on to
|
Don't need to be no strong hand
|
Don't need to be no rich hand
|
Every one just needs a hand to hold on to
|
|
Havin' good luck with your financial situation
|
Play the ponies, be president of the United Nations
|
Go to work and be a Hollywood stud
|
Drive your four-wheel drive right into the mud, yeah
|
|
(repeat chorus)
|
|
And then those hours when you're alone
|
And there's no body there except yourself
|
I know it, you wanna pick up the phone
|
And say, "Talk to me, talk to me
|
Somebody please talk to me"
|
yeah...ah...ah...ahhh
|
|
Oh, yeah...ah
|
(repeat chorus 3 times)
