Be My Somebody

Norah Jones · Not Too Late [2007]

I'm too foggy today

To know what you're sayin'

Your lips are moving so fast

And I just keep praying

For them to slow down

So I can make some sense

Of the words that are pouring out

Of your crooked spout



Last night was a record to be broken

It broke all over the kitchen floor

Oh no don't you go

I'm coming back with a rag

To wipe away the haze from the days

We've forgotten all about



So be my somebody tonight

Be the one who'll hold me tight

Honey, please, please

Cause I've been so all alone

And no one will pick up the phone

So honey, please stay



I held your head up, do you remember?

When you wanted to make a blanket outta me

Oh I can't lie, I been keeping score

And it's your turn to wring me out

And lay me down to dry



So be my somebody tonight

Be the one who'll hold me tight

Honey, please, please

Cause I've been so all alone

And no one will pick up the phone

So honey, please stay

Honey, please stay

Honey, please stay
