That Somebody Was You

There's been so many times
My heart has been broke in two
I kept on waiting in line
'cause nobody's heart was true
For every time I gave into love
I was always in the blue
And just when I was 'bout to give up
I found myself an angel called you
I've been waiting a lifetime for somebody
To love me like you do
Oh yeah (oh yeah)
I was thinking that I'd always be lonely
But God came up with someone like you
Just to think I had made up my mind
Love was over
Somebody gave me the love
That somebody was you
I tell you night after night
I prayed for someone like you
But no one ever was right
They could not compare to you
I wasn't sure if I could endure
If things just stay the same
I didn't know if God had in store
A day without your lovin' my way
Hook
I've been waiting a lifetime for somebody
To love me like you do
Oh yeah (oh yeah)
I was thinking that I'd always be lonely
But God came up with someone like you
Just to think I had made up my mind
Love was over
Somebody gave me the love
Somebody gave me the love
Somebody gave me the love
That somebody was you
Only you
That somebody was you
That somebody was you
Only you
That somebody was you
Only you, only you
That somebody was you
That somebody was you
