To 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.
There's a light
A certain kind of light
That never shone on me
I want my life to be
Lit with you, lit with you
There's a way
I hear the people say
To do each and every little thing
But what good does it bring
If I ain't got you, if I ain't got you
You don't know what it's like
Baby, you don't know what it's like
To love somebody, to love somebody
The way I love you
In my pain
I see your face again
I play it in my mind
Well I see you soft and kind
But is that you, is that you?
As a man
Can't you see what I am?
I live and breath for you
But what good does it do
If I ain't got you, if I ain't got you
You don't know what it's like
Baby you don't know what it's like
To love somebody, to love somebody
The way I love you
You don't know what it's like
You don't know what it's like
To love somebody, to love somebody
The way I love you
You don't know what it's like
You don't know ya know, ya know, ya know
To love somebody, to love somebody
The way I love you
