Someone to Love

Seth Shapiro got his law degree

He moved to Brooklyn from Schenectady, '93

Got some clients in the food industry

He says it's not the money, it's the recipes

He calls his mom, says he's doing fine

She's got somebody on the other line

Puts Coldplay on, pours a glass of wine

Curls up with a book about organized crime

When it's late

(When it's late)

And it's hot

(And it's hot)

And a date with the Late Show's all that you've got

Don't give out

(Don't give out)

Don't give up

(Don't give up)

One of these nights you might find someone to love

(Uh ah, ah-ah-ah, uh ah, ah-ah-ah)

Someone to love

(Uh ah, ah-ah)

(Yeah, yeah)

Someone to love

(Uh ah, ah-ah-ah, uh ah, ah-ah-ah)

Someone to love

(Uh ah, ah-ah)

(Yeah, yeah)

Beth McKenzie got the job of her dreams

Retouching photos for a magazine aimed at teens

It's Thursday night, she should be out on the scene

But she's sitting at home watching "The King of Queens"

There's something wrong that she can't describe

She takes the contacts out of her eyes

Sets the alarm for 6:45

So she can get a little exercise

When it's late

(When it's late)

And it's hot

(And it's hot)

And an hour in the shower is the best that you've got

Don't give out

(Don't give out)

Don't give up

(Don't give up)

One of these nights you might find someone to love

(Uh ah, ah-ah-ah, uh ah, ah-ah-ah)

Someone to love

(Uh ah, ah-ah)

(Yeah, yeah)

Someone to love

(Uh ah, ah-ah-ah, uh ah, ah-ah-ah)

Someone to love

(Uh ah, ah-ah)

(Yeah, yeah)

And you're not the only one who's lonely

And you're not the only one who's lonely

(Ah-ah, ah-ah, ah-ah, ah, ah)

Seth Shapiro is trying in vain

To hail a taxi in the morning in the pouring rain

Beth McKenzie sees one just up ahead

She cuts in front of him and leaves him for dead

(Uh ah, ah-ah-ah, uh ah, ah-ah-ah)

(Uh ah, ah-ah)

(Yeah, yeah)

(Uh ah, ah-ah-ah, uh ah, ah-ah-ah)

Someone to love

(Uh ah, ah-ah)

(Yeah, yeah)

(Uh ah, ah-ah-ah, uh ah, ah-ah-ah)

Someone to love

(Uh ah, ah-ah)

(Yeah, yeah)

(Uh ah, ah-ah-ah, uh ah, ah-ah-ah)

Someone to love

(Uh ah, ah-ah)

(Yeah, yeah)

(Uh ah, ah-ah-ah, uh ah, ah-ah-ah...)
