You can laugh and joke and make fun of your friends,
Spin in the middle when your troubles begin,
Take it nice and easy and always pretend
That you`re cool.........so cool..........so cool.

Say, "i`munna hold onto that a while and I will and I`ll be tame",
Talk like a jerk on an educated brain,
Be an old girl drivin` the young boys insane,
Be a joker, a preacher....it does not matter.

Chorus:
Everyone needs a hand to hold on to
Everyone needs a hand to hold on to
Don`t need to be no strong hand
Don`t need to be no rich hand
Everyone just needs a hand to hold on to

Havin` good luck with your financial situation,
Play the ponies, be the president of the united nation,
Go to work and be a hollywood stand,
Drive your 4 wheel drive right into the mud, but

Repeat chorus

And in those hours when you`re alone,
And there`s nobody there except yourself,
I know it.........you wanna pick up the phone,
And say, "talk to me, talk to me, somebody please
Talk to me!" yeah!

Guitar solo
Ohh, yeah!
Chorus

Repeat chorus
