V1) We’ll see in the end if you’re really my friend,
‘Cos I can’t just pretend that it’s all right.
I need you to be thinking clearly for me,
‘Cos on my own I can’t see if it’s all right.
Ch 1) Am I a club or a spade or a diamond?
I’m not a heart ‘cos I don’t have the time and,
Well it’s such a shame, what am I to do?
Help me out ‘cos I don’t have the answer,
I sing along but you know I’m not a dancer.
Every once in a while all I need is you.
V2) Now please understand, when you’re taking my hand,
That you can’t just demand that it’s all right.
Well it’s easy to see there’s a deep side to me,
And you might feel all at sea, but it’s all right.
Ch 2) Every now and then I get a feeling,
Things are going wrong and I’m a-reeling.
And it’s such a shame, what am I to do?
Need a hand to get up in the morning,
I’m asleep and a new day is dawning.
Every once in a while all I need is you.
(Instrumental section)
Ch 3) Every now and then when I wake up,
Don’t wanna move and I really need a shake-up.
Isn’t it a shame, what am I to do?
Am I a club or a spade or a diamond?
I’m not a heart ‘cos I don’t have the time and,
Every once in a while all I need is you.
Ch 4) Am I a bird or a plane or a human?
I’m not a superman, I am assumin’,
But it’s such a shame, what am I to do?
Give me a hand ‘cos I don’t have the answer,
I sing along but you know I’m not a dancer.
Every once in a while all I need is you.
Ch 5&6) (as chorus 1&4 + V1 below overlaid)
We’ll see in the end if you’re really my friend,
I can’t just pretend that it’s all right.
I need you to be thinking clearly for me,
On my own I can’t see if it’s all right.
