[Verse 1]
Everybody's got a story, everybody's got a line
Everybody's got a reason to need some lovin' sometime
Everybody's got a message with no one to tell it to
But my message to you, baby, is that I'm givin' my heart to you

[Pre-Choeus]
They say that grass is greener on the other side
But baby, pay that no mind
'Cause what we have together
Is the best love you'll ever find

[Chorus]
Don't you fret [?], 'cause I love to fool around
With someone that don't mean you no good, baby
They'll try to tear us apart, baby
Then start workin' on your heart, baby

[Verse 2]
But... after all has been said and done
Ooh, I'm so glad your love I've won
So satisfied with the things you do
And ooh baby, I'm so much in love with you

[Pre-Chorus]
Well, they say that grass is greener on the other side
But ooh-wee baby, don't you pay that no mind
'Cause what we have together
Is the best love you'll ever find

[Chorus]
Don't you fret, 'cause I love to fool around
With someone that don't mean you no good, baby
They'll try to tear us apart, baby
Then start workin' on your heart, baby

[Bridge]
But everybody's got a story, everybody's got a line
Everybody's got a reason to need some lovin' sometime...
No-ho, baby! Mm, hm...
Story, story, story
Story, story, story
Story, story, story
Story, story, story

[Outro]
(Everybody's got a story) story, story, story
(Everybody's got a line) everybody's got a story
(Everybody's got a reason, reason) story, story, story
(To need some lovin' sometime) everybody's got a line
Hey, hey...
Everybody's got a story
Everybody's got a line
Everybody's got a reason, reason
To need some lovin' sometime
Everybody's got a story
Everybody's got a line
Everybody's got a reason, reason
To need some lovin' sometime
Everybody's got a story...
