To Love Somebody
Michael Johns Lyrics

There's a light
There is a special, unique kind of light that exists

A certain kind of light
This light is distinguishable from others, and particular in its qualities

That never shone on me
I have not yet experienced or been touched by this light

I want my life to be
I desire for my existence to embody something more meaningful and fulfilling

Lived with you, lived with you
This deeper meaning can only be fully realized if I live my life closely intertwined with yours

There's a way
People often speak of a method or approach

Evreybody say
It is common and widespread for individuals to claim knowledge of this way

To do each and every little thing
This method is meant to address all of the details and aspects of life

But what does it bring
However, what will this really achieve or yield

If I ain't got you, if I ain't got
If I do not have you in my life, then this approach and method ultimately falls short

You don't know what it's like
You have no comprehension or understanding of the depth and breadth of this feeling

Baby, You don't know what it's like
Even if you are the object of this feeling, you still cannot fully understand it from my perspective

To love somebody, to love somebody
The experience of loving someone is truly unique and cannot be replicated or duplicated

The way I love you
The nature and intensity of my love for you is unique to our relationship

In my brain
In my thoughts and imagination

I see your face again
I often mentally conjure up an image of your face

I know my frame of mind
I am aware of my own thought processes and mental state

You ain't got to be so blind
You do not need to continue ignoring the depth of my feelings or the importance of our relationship

And I'm blind, so very blind
However, I acknowledge that I too am unable to fully comprehend this feeling or situation

I'm a man
As an adult, I have a sense of responsibility and maturity

Can't you see what I am
I am asking you to recognize me for who I truly am

I live and breathe for you
My existence is driven by, and interconnected with, my love for you

But what good does it do
Despite the significance of my love, sometimes it feels futile or meaningless

If I ain't got you,if I ain't got you
Ultimately, without you, it feels as if something essential is missing from my life

You don't know what it's like
Once again, I emphasize that you cannot truly comprehend the depth of my feelings

Baby you don't know what it's like
Even as the recipient of my affection, you cannot fully grasp the complexity of my emotions

To love somebody, to love somebody
Furthermore, it is impossible for anyone else to truly understand what love feels like for another person

The way I love you
My love for you is so powerful and overwhelming that it defies description or explanation

You don't know what it's like
I reiterate that you cannot fully comprehend the depth and nature of my emotional state

Baby, You don't know what it's like
I understand that it is not your fault for being unable to truly empathize with me

To love somebody, to love somebody
The experience of loving someone is so intensely personal and subjective that it cannot be replicated or shared completely

You don't know what it's like
Ultimately, it feels as if nobody can truly understand or empathize with my feelings

Baby, You don't know what it's like
This sense of isolation and loneliness can be devastating

To love somebody, to love somebody
But despite this, I cannot help but persist in my love for you

The way I love you
My feelings for you are deep, unwavering, and resilient, even in the face of isolation and misunderstanding
