I Need Someone Like Me

George Strait · The Ultimate Collection [Madacy 2 Disc] [2006]

(Sanger D.Shafer)



Your out there somewhere and your crying

And I love you though we've never met

Wait there for me, I'll recognize you

Someone lonesome, someone hurtin',

Someone blue, that'll be you.



We'll help each other start all over

A tear for a tear

A shoulder for a shoulder

You'll be someone that's born to lose

'Cause I need someone like me

To hold on too.



--- Instrumental ---



We'll help each other start all over

A tear for a tear

A shoulder for a shoulder

You'll be someone that's born to lose

'Cause I need someone like me

To hold on too.



'Cause I need someone like me

To hold on too...
