If You're Gonna Love Somebody

Watch you sipping coffee from your cup
You hold it on your chest
I wish that I was there
Close like salt and pepper
On the counter
Know it never parts
Like our hands always are
I can't tell what you were thinking
I hope that you feel what I'm feeling
Yeah, you should know before I go
If you're gonna love somebody
Can you leave the place there for me
'Cause I've been waiting at the table
Not just for anyone
And if you're gonna love somebody
You can be the glass and pour me
From the bottle with the label
Saying I'm your somebody, somebody
Somebody, somebody
Somebody, somebody
Each day I nearly tell you
But instead I call the waiter
Ignore, that it is you I adore
And I'm paying for the cheque
Got my receipt and my regret
I miss my chance once more
As I walk out the door
I can't tell what you were thinking
I hope that you feel what I'm feeling
Yeah you should know before I go
If you're gonna love somebody
Can you leave the place there for me
'Cause I've been waiting at the table
Not just for anyone
And if you're gonna love somebody
You can be the glass and pour me
From the bottle with the label
Saying I'm your somebody, somebody
Mmm, somebody, somebody
Oh, somebody, somebody
I'm afraid you won't say
That you've been feeling the same
I'm afraid you won't say
That you've been feeling the same
The same, the same
That you been feeling the same
If you're gonna love somebody
Can you leave the place there for me
'Cause I've been waiting at the table
Not just for anyone
And if you're gonna love somebody
You can be the glass and pour me
From the bottle with the label
Saying I'm your somebody, somebody
Oh-oh-ah, somebody, somebody
Mmmm, somebody, somebody
Mmm-ah, somebody, somebody
Mmmm, somebody, somebody
