To Love Somebody

Lyrics

There's a light, certain kinda light
 Never ever, never shone on me, no, no
 Honey, I want, I want my whole life
 To be lived with you, babe
 That's what I want oh, was to be
 Living and loving you
 There's a way, oh everybody say
 You can do anything, every thing yeah
 But what good, what good
 Honey, what good could it ever bring
 'Cause I ain't got you with my love
 And I can't find you babe, no I can't
 You don't know, you don't know what it's like
 No you don't, honey no you don't know
 You don't know what it's like
 To love anybody
 Oh honey, I wanna talk about love
 And trying to hold somebody
 The way I love you babe
 And I've been loving you babe
 In my brain, oh I can see your face again
 I know my frame of mind, yeah
 But nobody, nobody has to ever be so blind
 Honey, like I did, I know I was blind
 Honey, I tell you that I was, I was very, very blind
 Oh but I'm just a girl
 Can't you just take a look at me and tell
 Tell that I live, honey I live and I breathe for you
 Don't you know I do!
 But what good, what good,
 Honey, what good could ever do
 'Cause I ain't got you, that's all I've ever wanted
 And I ain't got you, babe, oh but I've been looking 'round
 But you don't know, you don't know what it's like
 No you don't, no, no, no, you don't know,
 Honey, you don't know what it's like
 Oh to love anybody.
 Oh honey I wanna talk about
 Trying to hold somebody when you're lonely
 The way I loved you, baby
 And I just want you to know I tried
 ♪
 Oh I know that there's a way
 'Cause everybody came to me one time and said
 "Honey, you can do anything,
 Every little thing, and I think I can
 Oh, but what good, what good
 Honey, what awfully good can it ever, ever bring
 'Cause I can't find you with my love
 And I can't find you babe, oh anywhere
 Oh, but you don't know,
 You don't know what it's like,
 No you don't and you never ever, ever did.
 You don't know, honey,
 You don't know what it's like
 Oh to love anybody
 Oh honey I wanna talk about trying to hold you
 Oh baby, baby, baby, yeah
 But you don't know
 You don't know what it's like
 And you never ever, ever did
 I said I tried to throw my love around you
 And I tried to help you darling
 But you never ever, no you never ever
 No you never ever, no you never ever
 I know that you know that
 No you never ever, ever, ever
 Oh let me throw my love
 Throw my love all around you, yeah
