When your luck is running out and the rain is pouring down
And there's another cloud sneakin' up behind you
When hopeless feels like home, you think you're all alone
And all you know is that you just don't know what to do

Doesn't really matter, who you are
Doesn't really matter, what you do
Doesn't really matter, where you're from

Chorus:
Everybody needs somebody
Everybody needs someone they can love
When the livin' get's too heavy
There's somebody, somebody they can count on

If you're dealin' with a broken heart and your dreams just fell apart
And you're just looking for someone to understand
You're not the only one who can't see the long-run
Just tryin' to have some fun when the (clap, clap) hits the fan
Doesn't really matter, who you are
Doesn't really matter, what you do
Doesn't really matter, where you're from

Repeat Chorus

I can count on you, you can count on me
I can count on you
It ain't always pretty, it ain't always right
It'll keep you starin' at the ceilin' in the middle of the night
Maybe not today, but it'll be okay
'Cause it's life, and we're livin' it, and we got each other

Repeat Chorus Twice

I can count on you, you can count on me, I can count on you
You can count on me, I can count on you, you can count on me
When your luck is running out and the rain is pouring down
You can count on me, I can count on you
If you're dealin' with a broken heart and your dreams just fell apart
You can count on me
Everybody
