Lyrics Oingo Boingo

Oingo Boingo

Everybody Needs

I'm gonna bet you that heartaches

And true love and feeble excuses

For repressed desire adds fuel to the fire

And the human condition goes on and goes on and goes on

Everybody needs it

Everybody needs

Everybody needs it

Everybody needs

And I get so blue when I'm stuck all day in school

And I get so blue when I'm stuck all day in school

And I stare at the back of my old notebook

And the teacher gives me a dirty look

And I've got just one thing on my mind

No matter how hard I try and try

I feel like someone else

I feel like someone else

Everybody needs

Big boy, real cool, you can tell he's no one's fool

And he tries so hard to come off like a star

You can tell by the way he combs his hair

By the cocky grin and that moody stare

By the way he leans and juts out his hip

And you think any second that he might slip

But he feels like someone else

And he feels like someone else

I know what's on his mind

I know what's on his mind

And I'm gonna bet you that I know what's on your mind

Pretty baby, I'm gonan bet you that I know what's on your mind

Young girl, so wild, she wears a ponytail

And she cooks inside with a passion she can't hide

And she's got that ju-ju in her eyes

Makes boys and old men come alive

And she knows the power that she possesses

When they start to melt under her caresses

She feels like someone else

She feels like someone else

I know what's on her mind

I know what's on her mind

True love and virtue get put in a closet

Like Jeckyll and Hyde, when it starts you can't stop it

No need to feel guilty, 'cause you're not alone

When the fire consumes you and nature takes over

The heartache and true love and feeble excuses

For repressed desires add fuel to the fire

When the fire consumes you and nature takes over

And the human condition goes on and goes on and goes on

Everybody needs
