| I need somebody, somebody to love To stop the bleeding in my heart I need somebody, somebody to loveSomeone saying hold me close, on those nights my bed is cold Never lets me sleep alone, wakes up with my t-shirt on Someone who can draw the line, show me I ain’t always right Call me, talk me through the fight, always walk me to the light Oh, someone that’ll never let go Pick up every piece of my broke With me ’til the end of my road OhI need somebody, somebody to love To stop the bleeding in my heart I need somebody, somebody to love ‘Cause I’m about to fall apart What am I doing wrong? Am I not good enough? These voices in my head got me thinking nobody does I need somebody, somebody to love I need somebody to loveFull lyrics HERE |

Known for their hook-heavy sound that doesn’t just dominate the genre – it crushes charts, radio, and playlists, solidifying their legacy as a staple in today’s country music. Comprised of brothers Matt and Scott Thomas (lead vocals/guitar and drums, respectively), cousin Barry Knox (bass), and lifelong friend Josh McSwain, the North Carolina-bred band most recently topped the charts with their latest single, “Cowgirl,” the lead release from the album, Fell In Love With A Cowgirl. This milestone marks Parmalee’s fifth consecutive number one following the massive success of number one fan favorites “Take My Name” (Billboard’s most-played country song of 2022), “Girl In Mine” (Billboard’s 8th most-played country song of 2023), “Just the Way” with Blanco Brown, and the emotional ballad “Gonna Love You” that revisited the near-death experience the band endured earlier in their career. Known for their explosive live shows, the band delivered their current single “God Knew Better” to country radio which was the most added across Country Aircheck/Mediabase and Billboard and just released their new song, “I Need Somebody.” ### |
