To Love Somebody lyrics

There's a light, a certain kind of 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?

Because 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 want to 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 can it ever do?

Because I ain't got you, that's all I ever wanted

And I ain't got you babe, oh honey, I've been looking around

But 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 want to talk about trying to hold somebody when you're lonely

The way I love you babe

But I just want you to know I tried

Oh, I know that there's a way

Because 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

Because I can't find you with my love

And I can't find you babe, oh anywhere

But you don't know, you don't know what it's like

No, you don't, and you never ever did

You don't know,

Honey, you don't know what it's like

To love anybody

Oh honey, I want to talk about trying to hold you

Oh, baby, yeah

But you don't know, you don't know what it's like

And you never ever ever did, I said

I was trying 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

Let me throw my love ,

Throw my love all around you
