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 don't even know it
And that's what makes you very bad
Oh baby, you've got it
You've got something I wish I had
I'm crazy about your body
And I'm hung up in your eyes
But I keep on gettin' the feeling
Baby, you're pretty inside
So if you're gonna love somebody
Love somebody
If you're gonna love somebody
Let it be me, let it be me, let it be me
Let me be the one you hold
When your nights get too lonely
Don't you think it's time you let it go
You can't keep your love inside
You could make me come alive
You are the only one, oh baby
Oh baby
Now what'cha gonna do about it
Baby, tell me that I got a chance
Ain't no doubt about it
This could be a hot romance
I can see you got it together
No need to come on strong
But I keep on gettin' the feeling
Your nights have been too long
So if you're gonna love somebody
Love somebody
If you're gonna love somebody
Let it be me, let it be me, let it be me
(So if you're gonna love somebody)
(Love somebody)
Let it be me
(So if you're gonna love somebody)
(Love somebody)
Let it be me
(So if you're gonna love somebody)
(Love somebody)
Let it be me
(So if you're gonna love somebody)
(Love somebody)
Let it be me
