Lyrics

I've got to love somebody's baby
'Cause somebody, somebody, somebody sure been lovin' mine
And everybody, yeah, around me knew it
But I was in the dark for such a long time
Now I've got to get what she's been giving
Get myself together and start living
I've got to hold somebody's baby
I know somebody, somebody, somebody
Sure been holdin' mine
And lately, yeah, when I try to squeeze her
She said "Maybe later, but right now I just don't have the time"
It's not an eye-for-an-eye
But I need a little help
And now I'm looking out for number one
I'm starvin' for some lovin'
Somebody
Somebody
Somebody, oh yeah
I've got to love somebody's baby
I know that somebody, somebody somebody
That's sure been lovin' mine
You see, the reason why I know
Somebody's been lovin' my baby, yeah
When the girl hold me oh
Oh, it just don't feel the same
I've got to find me somebody
I've got to find someone to share my love with
You see, somebody, somebody...
