When You Love 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.
What it is a woman
To do with a man
Who treats her unkindly
When she does all she can
I cried so many nights
How we fuss and fight
The makes ups and the break ups
I loved you and only you, the things you do...
When you love somebody
(Love, love..)
Oh Lord, yeah
When you love somebody
(Love, love...)
Things you do, ohh
I gave you my lovin'
With no question asked
Tear on my pillow
From all your disrespect
I didn't care about your past
I only wanted to make us last
You know I loved you and only you
The things you do...
(chorus)
When you love somebody
(Love, love..)
Oh Lord, yeah
When you love somebody
(Love, love...)
I loved you, baby
Love somebody
When you love the things you do for love, oh
(Love, love..)
The thing that you do
Who knows what tomorrow may bring
All I know is, it is what it is
And why do I look for clues y'all?
When I don't have to question you, oh
When you love somebody, love somebody
When you love somebody, love somebody
The things you do, the things you do
The things you do, the things you do
Oh in the name of love
Oh in the name of love
In the name of love
All the things we do for love, love, love, love
In the name of love
All the things we do for love, love, love, love
In the name of love
All the things we do for love, love, love, love
