God By Another Name

What if life wasn't long,
And everybody got just a single moment?
If you wasted the moment alone
Spent your whole time thinking "Why should I need love?"
Then look above to the sky and beyond
Cause you don't know what you've got ?til it's gone,
Believe me

Everybody needs a lover sometimes
And you were mine
My God by another name
Everybody needs a lover sometimes
And you were mine
My shelter from the rain, outside

What if life was a car,
And you didn't really know how to start it
Would you sit in your car like a clown
Or get out and walk to the nearest crowded bar?
And kiss a mouth, make it smile and be proud
That at least you had a good time for a while?
Believe me

Everybody needs a lover sometimes
And you were mine
My God by another name
Everybody needs a lover sometimes
And you were mine
My shelter from the rain, outside

And if you hold on to me now
And never let go
Then I guess at least we'll know
The sense that it all made, oh

Cause everybody needs a lover sometimes
And you were mine
My God by another name
Everybody needs a lover sometimes
And you were mine
My shelter from the rain, outside

And you stayed
