Lyrics
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.
Love somebody, No matter who,
Love somebody, No matter who, no matter who.
If it's a horse or a canary,
If it's a dyke, if it's a fairy,
If it's alive and needs your caring,
Love somebody, don't matter who,
Even someone straight will do.
Well the sin of sins is pride,
And an empty heart inside,
And self-righteousness will send you where
Old Satan dare not go, Down below.
Jesus said, "Love one another,
Ev'ry sister and brother."
Don't go posing on your steeple,
Throwing stones at other people;
Take a moment out and try
To note the mote in your own eye.
Miss Anita get behind us,
We don't need the Citrus Gang to guide us
In the way we should go.
'Cause we do love one another
As the Good Lord bade us do,
Though it gets a little arduous loving you.
Love somebody, No matter who,
Love somebody, No matter who, no matter who.
If it's the same sex or complementing,
If it's an adult who's consenting,
If it's alive and needs your caring,
Love somebody, don't matter who,
Even someone straight will do.
