Whenever You Need Somebody

Rick Astley · Ultimate Collection [2008]

I'll bring my love to you

I'll bring my love to you



Ive been stood up messed around

And taken for a fool

But next time round

I'm gonna change the rules

And I don't care about the things that people say

It's you I think about each and everyday

It's much too late for you to change your ways

I can't keep holding on expecting you to stay

When you're all alone and if you're feeling down

Call me, and I'll be around



Whenever you need somebody

I'll bring my love to you

You don't have to say you love me

I just wanna be with you



Lost inside your love is where I wanna be

I'm just asking you to spend some time with me

Time and time you say you wanna be free

And you can have some fun that's okay with me

You will never know just how good I feel

The joy inside of me makes me feel so real

When you're all alone and if you're feeling down

Call me, and I'll be around



Whenever you need somebody

I'll bring my love to you

You don't have to say you love me

I just wanna be with you



I'll bring my love to you

I just wanna be with you

(Repeat)



It's much too late for you to change your ways

I can't keep holding on expecting you to stay

When you're all alone and if you're feeling down

I'll be, I'll be around



Whenever you need somebody

I'll bring my love to you

You don't have to say you love me

I just wanna be with you

(Repeat to fade)

Whenever You Need Somebody

Released in 1987, Rick Astley's 'Whenever You Need Somebody' stands as a defining track of the New Wave and Synth-pop era. The song features a distinctive production style characterized by a driving bassline and a prominent synthesizer melody, typical of the genre's sound during the late 1980s. While the single achieved massive commercial success globally, the accompanying music video became an iconic cultural artifact, blending dance-pop energy with a narrative that resonated with audiences of the time. The recording exemplifies the polished yet energetic aesthetic that defined Astley's early career and remains a staple of his discography, often featured in compilations celebrating his work from that period.
