"Everybody needs somebody, everybody needs somebody to love, someone to love, sweetheart to miss, sugar to kiss, I need you, in the morning, when my soul's on fire, sometimes I feel a little sad inside, when my baby mistreats me, I never, never have a place to hide, I need you".  Where do they come from?

We do sincerely hope you'll all enjoy the show and please remember people, that no matter who you are and what you do to live, thrive and survive, there're still some things that make us all the same. You, me, them, everybody, everybody.
