To Love Somebody
Bee Gees, The · Other Songs - Bee Gees, The
A certain 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 good does it bring
If I ain't got you, ain't got you
CHORUS
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
I'm blind, so so so blind
I'm a man, can't you see
What I am
I live and breathe for you
But what good does it do
If I ain't got you, ain't got you
(CHORUS)
(REPEAT CHORUS AND FADE OUT)
