Sometimes you need to be hurtin'
Sometimes you need to be healed
Sometimes it takes an earthquake
To shake loose the things that you feel
It's easy to take love for granted
Get stuck in a rut unfulfilled
Sometimes it takes an earthquake
To tear down these walls that we build
It takes an earthquake, or a tidal wave
Or a landslide, for a heart to be saved
Oh my darlin', it takes an earthquake sometimes
Sometimes ya need to be tender
Sometimes you need to be tough
Sometimes it takes an earthquake
To tell us enough is enough
Our changes can make us or break us
We all have a choice I suppose
Sometimes it takes an earthquake
To tell us it's time to let go
It takes an earthquake, or a tidal wave
Or a landslide, for a heart to be saved
Oh my darlin', it takes an earthquake sometimes
And an earthquake will shake your foundation
And rattle the bedrock below
Baby make no mistake, the strongest hearts break
If that's what it takes us to grow-ow-ow-ow
Don't know what makes us so selfish
Or turns our poor hearts into stone
But sometimes I pray for an earthquake
To show us the way to go home
People!
It takes an earthquake, or a tidal wave
Or a landslide, for a heart to be saved
Oh my darlin', it takes an earthquake
It takes an earthquake, or a tidal wave
Or a landslide, for a soul to be saved
Oh my darlin', it takes an earthquake sometimes
Sometimes
