Artist/Band: Leonard Cohen
Lyrics for Song: To Love Somebody
Lyrics for Album: Other Songs - Leonard Cohen



(originally sung by the BeeGees)



There's a light, a very special light,

never ever shone on me.

I would like my whole life to be,

with someone like you ...

with someone ... with someone like ...



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.



There's a way, a very special way,

To look at each and every single thing.

Ah, but what good would that bring,

if I ain't got you ...

if I ain't ... if I ain't got you.



You don't know what it's like,

I don't think you really, really know what it's like,

to love somebody,

to love somebody,



the way I love you,

the way I love you.



There's a light, a special kind of light,

never ever shone on me.

I would like my whole life to be,

with someone like you ...

with someone ... with someone like ...



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

You, you just 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,

I don't think you really, really know what it's like,

to love somebody,

to love

the way I love you.


To Love Somebody

Leonard Cohen's "To Love Somebody" stands as a poignant exploration of devotion and vulnerability, characteristic of his late-career work. Released on the album *I'm Your Fan*, the track exemplifies Cohen's signature blend of jazz-inflected pop and spiritual introspection. With its haunting melody and Cohen's distinctive baritone, the song delves into the complexities of romantic commitment, reflecting themes prevalent in his broader discography during this period. The recording captures the artist's matured voice, offering a reflective commentary on the nature of love that resonates deeply with listeners familiar with his exploration of faith and human connection.
