This guitar needs six strings
'Cause without it there's no song
And this house needs love in it
'Cause without it there's no home
And there's one thing that I've learned
Through this year of being alone
I can feel it in my bones
More than anything I've ever known, that's
People need, people need, people need people
People need, people need, people need people
We're all righteous and humble, we climb and we stumble
The strong and the feeble
No matter where in the world that you go
Don't you know that people need people?
People need people
We are all on the same road
Walking different directions
All cursed by the curses
And all blessed by the blessings
Through the reach of a hand or a smile for a while
You could feel the connection
Even in the times when you think you're all alone, don't
'Cause people need, people need, people need people
People need, people need, people need people
We're all righteous and humble, we climb and we stumble
The strong and the feeble
No matter where in the world that you go
Don't you know that people need people?
People need (ah) people need (ah) people need people (everybody say)
People need, people need, people need people (I need somebody like you)
People need, people need, people need people
No matter where in the world that you go
Don't you know that people need people?
And you got me like the ocean's got the waters
And I got you like mamas and papas got sons and daughters
And the stars got the sky so that they can shine down low
So, no matter where in the world that you go
You will know that you're not alone, 'cause
People need, people need, people need people
People need, people need, people need people
People need, people need, people need people
No matter where in the world that you go
Don't you know that you're not alone?
No matter where in the world that you go
Don't you know that you're not alone?
'Cause people need people
People need people
