To Love Somebody Lyrics by James Carr

The Complete Goldwax Singles

0

There's a light, a certain kind of light
That never shines on me
I want my life to be here with you
To live with you
There's a way, everybody say
I got to do each and every thing
What good will it bring
If I can't have you, if I can't have you?
Baby, you don't know what it's like
You don't know what it's like
To love somebody
To love somebody the way I love you, yeah
In my prayers, I see your face again
God knows I pray every night
Woman, how could you be so blind, yeah
When I'm so sad, so doggone sad?
I'm a man
Can't you see that's what I am?
But I live and I breathe for you
What good breathing do
If I can't have you, if I can't have you?
Baby, you don't know what it's like
You don't know what it's like
To love somebody
To love somebody the way I love you, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
You don't know what it's like
Just don't know what it's like
I need you, I love you
I got to have you day and night
I need you, I love you
Always thinking of you
