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 x2]



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
