\"Lyric<\/a>Sometimes a simple lyric is all you need.<\/p>\n

All you need is love.<\/em><\/p>\n

De, do, do, do.
\nDe, da, da, da.<\/em><\/p>\n

‘Scuse me while I kiss this guy.<\/em><\/p>\n

This week’s lyric is to a song that I simply can’t not sing along to in the car.<\/p>\n

Enjoy Girlfriend<\/em><\/a> by Matthew Sweet<\/a> (from 1991’s Girlfriend<\/em><\/a>).<\/p>\n

I wanna love somebody<\/em>
\nI hear you need somebody to love<\/em>
\nI wanna love somebody<\/em>
\nI hear you’re looking for someone to love<\/em><\/p>\n

‘Cause you need to<\/em>
\nGet back in the arms of a good friend<\/em>
\nAnd I need to<\/em>
\nGet back in the arms of a girlfriend<\/em><\/p>\n

I didn’t know nobody<\/em>
\nAnd then I saw you coming my way<\/em>
\nI didn’t know nobody<\/em>
\nAnd then I saw you coming my way<\/em><\/p>\n

Don’t you need to<\/em>
\nGet back in the arms of a good friend?<\/em>
\n‘Cause, honey, believe me<\/em>
\nI’d sure love to call you my girlfriend<\/em><\/p>\n

‘Cause you got a good thing going, baby<\/em>
\nYou only need somebody to love<\/em>
\nOh, you’ve got a good thing going<\/em>
\nYou’re only looking for someone to love<\/em><\/p>\n

‘Cause you need to<\/em>
\nGet back in the arms of a good friend<\/em><\/p>\n

And I’m never gonna set you free<\/em>
\nNo, I’m never gonna set you free<\/em><\/p>\n
