"Yes, think" | "Think!" | |
Oh
freedom (freedom), freedom (freedom), freedom, yeah freedom |
Aretha
Franklin: the only soul queen that dance (and what dance) wearing slippers and dirty apron |
|
The Blues Brothers are worried | Matt's wife has many doubts | |
But it's impossible to stop the rhythm & blues | "You need me (need me) and I need you (don't you know)" | |
"There
ain't nothing you could ask I could answer you but I won't (I won't)" |
I was
gonna change, but I'm not, if you're doing things I don't |
|
Oh
freedom (freedom), freedom (freedom), freedom, yeah freedom |

"Everybody Needs Somebody" ... | ... "To Love" | |
Everybody needs somebody to love (someone to love) | Sweetheart to miss (sweetheart to miss) | |
Sugar to kiss (sugar to kiss) | I need you you you | |
I need you you you | I need you you you | |
I need you you you in the morning | I need you you you when my souls on fire | |
Sometimes I feel ... | I feel a little sad inside, When my baby mistreats me | |
I need you you you | I need you you you | |
You know people when you do find that somebody | Hold that woman, hold that man | |
Love him, hold him, squeeze her, please her, hold her | Squeeze and please that person, give em all your love | |
Signify your feelings with every gentle caress | Because its so important to have that special somebody | |
To hold, kiss, miss, squeeze and please | Everybody needs somebody Everybody needs somebody to love! |
|
"Thanks to all!" | The Blues Brothers say goodbye to the public | |
And they give their respect also ... | ... to the friends that are waiting for them | |
