Testo I Needed Somebody - Ann Peebles
Testo della canzone I Needed Somebody (Ann Peebles), tratta dall'album The Essential Ann Peebles
Left home early one morning
Against my father's will
This town was too small for me
And my life was standing so still
The bright lights and the big city
I heard them calling out my name
I heard them calling out my name
I made up my mind
Said I wasn't gonna turn around this time
Oh, it gets lonely sometimes
In this great big old lonely town
Seems like everything I do goes wrong
Ain't nobody, nobody else to blame
Nobody but me, nobody but me
Right about that time I needed somebody
Yes, I needed somebody to lend me a helping hand
I tell you, I needed somebody
Help me if you can, take my trembling hand
Got so discouraged one day
I called my mother
I asked her could I come back home
You know, my mother told me
"Child, you been gone too long
You didn't write, you didn't even think to call
Whole lot of things around this old place done changed
Child, they done changed"
Then she told me something
Brought tears into my eyes
Said, "It's been almost a year
Well, since your father died
Reverend Green was the only someone to come around
Give my soul consolation
Helped me to ease through my troubled times"
Yes, he did
Right about that time my mother told me she needed somebody
Yes, she did
Just to lend a helping hand
She told me she needed somebody
Take her trembling hand, help her if you can
Needed somebody, yes, she did
She needed somebody to help her through the night
She needed somebody
Oh, she needed somebody, yes, she did
Take her trembling hand, help her if you can
She needed somebody, yes, she did
She needed somebody
