Wilson Pickett - You Can't Stand Alone Lyrics

Somebody broke your heart once before, yeah
Now you claim you don't want love no more
Listen, girl hear what I say
How long do you think you can go on this way

Chorus

You know you can't stand alone no matter how you try
Got to have somebody to love, goes for you and I
(Everybody needs somebody) (3x)
All of a sudden you can't stand alone

Love brought you heartaches sometime, so wrong, yeah
Don't let it turn your heart into stone
I love you, baby this you can recognize, yeah
I see a spark of love deep in your eyes

Chorus

(Instrumental)

Love brought you misery that may be true
But that is something that we all go through

Oh come put your hand in mine and don't look back
Let's fall in love, baby that's where it's at

You know you can't stand alone no matter how you try
Got to have somebody to love, goes for you and I

(Repeat and fade)

(Everybody needs somebody)
