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 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 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 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 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 (x3)
