I Need Somebody Lyrics

Well I am your crazy driver
Honey I'm sure to steer you wrong
I am dying in a story
I'm only living to sing this song
(Just the same, baby...)

[Chorus:]
I need somebody, baby
I need somebody, too
I need somebody, baby
Just like you, just like you, just like you.

Well I'm losing all my feelings
And I'm running out of friends
You know you lied to me in the beginning
Baby, and now you're gonna try to bring me
Try to bring me to the end.

[Chorus]

Well now it's time to leave this signal
The interference is too strong
Yeah I got my reputation
Ride them airwaves, now too long.

[Chorus]

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

The original blues-y rehearsal versions are the best. Creepy, pretty sexy too, to be honest. Very dark.
