Gonna Need Somebody [*]

The Maytals, known from 1972 to 2020 as Toots and the Maytals, are a Jamaican musical group, one of the best known ska and rocksteady vocal groups. The Maytals were formed in the early 1960s and were key figures in popularizing reggae music. Frontman Toots Hibbert, who died in 2020, was considered a reggae pioneer on par with Bob Marley. His soulful vocal style was compared to Otis Redding, and led him to be named by Rolling Stone as one of the 100 Greatest Singers.

Every morning, every night you make me cry
Just because you know I love you
You told me to always wait for you there
Want me to lose my mind?

Then I'll start my crying around
All I do is cry while you just sit and you lie
You told me you really loved me
You loved me, loved me, loved me, loved me true

Want me to lose my mind?
Then I'll start my mind around
Sick and tired of wasting my time
Called you on the phone and you was not at home

That's too bad
You got me way deep down in a soul
That can make you more
Gonna need somebody now
Need somebody true
