To Love Somebody
v.a. Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I know your insides are feeling so hollow
And it's a hard pill for you to swallow, yeah
But if I fall for you, I'll never recover
If I fall for you, I'll never be the same

I really wanna love somebody
I really wanna dance the night away
I know we're only halfway there
But you can take me all the way, if you take me all the way
I really wanna touch somebody
I think about you every single day
I know we're only halfway there
But you can take me all the way, you can take me all the way

You're such a hard act for me to follow
Love me today don't leave me tomorrow, yeah
But if I fall for you, I'll never recover
If I fall for you, I'll never be the same

I really wanna love somebody
I really wanna dance the night away
I know we're only halfway there
But take me all the way, if you can take me all the way
I really wanna touch somebody
I think about you every single day
I know we're only halfway there
But you can take me all the way, if you can take me all the way

Oh, oh, oh, oh oh oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh oh oh

I don't know where to start, I'm just a little lost
I wanna feel like we're never gonna ever stop
I don't know what to do, I'm right in front of you
Asking you to stay, you should stay, stay with me tonight, yeah

I really wanna love somebody
I really wanna dance the night away
I know we're only halfway there
But take me all the way, if you can take me all the way
I really wanna touch somebody
I think about you every single day
I know we're only halfway there
But take me all the way, if you can take me all the way

Oh, oh, oh, oh oh oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh oh oh





Take me all the way, if you take me all the way, yeah

There's a light
Some kind of light
That never shone on me
I want my life to be lived with you
Lived with you
There's a way everybody say
To do each and every little thing
But what does it bring
If I ain't got you, ain't got?
You don't know what it's like, baby
You don't know what it's like
To love somebody
To love somebody
The way I love you
In my brain
I see your face again
I know my frame of mind
You ain't got to be so blind
And I'm blind, so, so, so blind
I'm a man
Can't you see what I am?
I live and I breathe for you
But what good does it do
If I ain't got you, ain't got?
You don't know what it's like, baby
You don't know what it's like
To love somebody
To love somebody
The way I love you
You don't know what it's like, baby
You don't know what it's like
To love somebody
To love somebody
The way I love you
You don't know what it's like, baby
You don't know what it's like
To love somebody
