Lyrics

I wanna love somebody I hear you need somebody to love Oh, I wanna love somebody I hear you're lookin' for someone to love 'Cause you need to (oh) Get back in the arms of a good friend And I need to (oh) Get back in the arms of a girlfriend I didn't know nobody And then I saw you comin' my way Oh, I didn't know nobody And then I saw you comin' my way Don't you need to (oh) Get back in the arms of a good friend? Oh, 'cause, honey, believe me (oh) I'd sure love to call you my girlfriend Hoo! (One, two, three, four) Alright Don't you need to (oh) Get back in the arms of a good friend? Oh, 'cause, honey, believe me (oh) I'd sure love to call you my girlfriend 'Cause you got a good thing goin', baby You only need somebody to love Oh, you've got a good thing goin' You're only lookin' for someone to love 'Cause you need to Get back in the arms of a good friend And I'm never gonna set you free (oh) No, I'm never gonna set you free
