Lyrics
Somebody To Love You
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.
You need a job so you can make some money
You need a nice warm place to stay
A sense of humor cause life is funny
A big stick to keep the wolves away
You need a car with good tires on it
And the right place to eat bar-b-q
A heavy duty set of jumper cables
And no holes in your walkin' shoes
the main thing you gonna find you need
is a fertile place to plant the seed now
You got to find somebody to love you
Someone to be there for you night and day
Someone to share it with and be part of you
Love ain't no good till you give it away
You got to give it away
I recommend you get some life insurance
Be prepared to dial 911
Pay close attention to your high blood pressure
And stay away from the man with a gun
You need a reason to get up in the morning
Make sure your clock has a snooze control
Be sure you got a place to run for cover
'Cause overnight things can sure get cold
You're gonna find out sooner or later
You need a common denominator
You got to find somebody to love you
Someone to be there for you night and day
Someone to share it with and be part of you
Love ain't no good till you give it away
You got to give it away
