From London to Lisbon
And all points between
Find people to lean on
And one man to please

We all need someone, we all
need something, we all need…

I’m lustless, lifeless
The scent of my skin
It means nothing without you
That’s where it begins

We all need someone,
We all need something,
We all need… We all need…

Get out, for your sakes,
do you want it ?
No promises are spoken
Take it or leave it, do you like it ?
And no man’s heart gets broken

One day to another,
I’m head over heels
One room to another,
it sets the same scene

We all need someone,
We all need something,
We all need… We all need…

Every man for himself,
just for a little while
Every man for himself,
just for a short while

You could come around,
we could fool around,
and get down
It’s the way it could be

Oh, from London to Lisbon
I’m head over heels
Take it or leave it,
just come as you please
We all need

Someone, somehow,
somewhere

Well with buck shot eyes and a purple heart
I rolled down the national stroll
And with a big fat paycheck
Strapped to my hip sack
And a shore leave wristwatch underneath
My sleeve
In a hong kong drizzle on cuban heels
I rowed down the gutter to the blood bank
And i’d left all my papers on the ticonderoga
And was in a bad need of a shave
And so i slopped at the corner on cold chow mein
And shot billards with a midget
Until the rain stopped
And i bought a long sleeved shirt
With horses on the front
And some gum and a lighter and a knife
And a new deck of cards (with girls on the back)
And i sat down and wrote a letter to my wife

And i said baby, i’m so far away from home
And i miss my baby so
I can’t make it by myself
I love you so

Well i was pacing myself
Trying to make it all last
Squeezing all the life
Out of a lousy two day pass
And i had a cold one at the dragon
With some filipino floor show
And talked baseball with a lieutenant
Over a singapore sling
And i wondered how the same moon outside
Over this chinatown fair
Could look down on illinois
And find you there
And you know i love you baby

And i’m so far away from home
And i miss my baby so
I can’t make it by myself
I love you so

Shore leave…
Shore leave…
