Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I want somebody to share, share the rest of my life
Share my innermost thoughts, know my intimate details
Someone who'll stand by my side and give me support
And in return she'll get my support
[Verse 2]
She will listen to me when I want to speak
About the world we live in and life in general
Though my views may be wrong, they may even be perverted
She'll hear me out and won't easily be converted
[Verse 3]
To my way of thinking, in fact, she'll often disagree
But in the end of it all she will understand me
Ah
[Verse 4]
I want somebody who cares for me passionately
With every thought and with every breath
Someone who'll help me see things in a different light
All the things I detest I will almost like
[Verse 5]
I don't want to be tied to anyone's strings
I'm carefully trying to steer clear of those things
But when I'm asleep I want somebody
Who will put their arms around me and kiss me
Tenderly
[Verse 6]
Though things like this make me sick
In a case like this I'll get away with it
And in a place like this I'll get away with it
Ah
Ah
[Verse 7]
Ooh
Ah
Ooh
Ah
[Verse 8]
Thank you
