Lyrics
If You Want 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.
It's hard to watch this
Like seein' someone fall through darkness
You're far too priceless
To just let anybody buy it like it's
Free, all this cheap talk is really gonna
Cost you everything
But if you want somebody to love you
If you want somebody to need
If you want somebody to love you, how about me?
You try to hide it
Why can't you see how bright you're shining
Heart like a diamond
That you bury so that no one finds it
Deep underneath the mystery
You hold so no one else can see
But if you want somebody to love you
If you want somebody to need
If you want somebody to love you, how about me?
But if you want somebody to love you
If you want somebody to need
If you want somebody to love you, how about me?
You can't keep, you can't keep holdin'
You can't keep, you can't keep holdin'
You can't keep, you can't keep holdin' back
Oh, you can't keep, you can't keep holdin'
You can't keep, you can't keep holdin'
You can't keep, you can't keep holdin' back like that
Not like that
If you want somebody to love you
Oh if you want somebody to need
Of if you want somebody to love you, how about me?
(Open your eyes and see)
If you want somebody to love you
Oh if you want somebody to need
Of if you want somebody to love you, how about me?
(Open your eyes and see)
