To love somebody

there’s a light
a certain kind of light
that never shone on me
I want my life to be
lived with you, lived with you
there’s a way
everybody said
to do each and every little thing
but what does it bring
if I a’int got you, a’int got 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

it’s the same
I see your face again
I know my frame of mind
you a’int got to be so blind
am I so blind, blind to believe?
I’m a man
can’t you see
this is what I am
I live and breathe for you
but what good does it do, if I a’int got 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
