Lyrics
Somebody
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Come and tell me, who stole your smile?
I wanna help you girl, to laugh a while
'Cause everybody feels the power sometimes
To heal with kind affection
Everybody's heart is troubled at times
In need of some protection
If I could only touch you
I know you'd like it
But every time I try to reach you
You run away frightened
Somebody wants you
Somebody needs you
Somebody loves you
Just the way you are
Nobody knows just how long
Nobody knows just how strong
I've cared for you through all these years
You know I love you darlin'
But you don't wanna hear
'Cause everything I try to tell you
Goes in one ear and out the other
I can't quite put my finger on it
It seems you just don't bother
