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 on educated brain
Little girl drivin' the young boys insane
Be a joker, a preacher, it does not matter
Everyone needs a hand to hold on to
Everyone needs a hand to hold on to
Don't need to be no strong hand
Don't need to be no rich hand
Everyone just needs a hand to hold on to
Havin' good luck with your financial situation
Play the ponies, be the President of the United Nations
Go to work and be a Hollywood stud
Drive your four wheel drive right into the mud, but
Everyone needs a hand to hold on to
Everyone needs a hand to hold on to
Don't need to be no strong hand
Don't need to be no rich hand
Everyone just needs a hand to hold on to
And in those hours when you're alone
And there's nobody 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
Oh well, everyone needs a hand to hold on to
Everyone needs a hand to hold on to
Don't need to be no strong hand
Don't need to be no rich hand
