Somebody's Needin' Somebody
Conway Twitty · Love Songs [Collectables] [2006]
Someone somewhere's fallin' asleep
In a chair in front of the tv
'Cross town somebody's
Up and walkin' the floor at a quarter to three.
In some little corner of the world
A forgotten soul is waitin' by the phone
And right down the hall someone's in there feelin'
Like cryin' 'cause they're livin' all alone.
Somebody's needin' somebody the way I do
Somebody's wantin' somebody they can hold on to
To be loved by somebody that's the way it should be
Oh, there's got to be somebody somewhere waitin' for me.
Late at night it's lonely and I wonder how I'll ever get through
There's got to be somebody somewhere who's feelin' it too
Hurtin' inside, goin' through the motions, it's so hard to live
So many fellin' so lonely when they got so much to give.
Somebody's needin' somebody the way I do
Somebody's wantin' somebody they can hold on to
To be loved by somebody that's the way it should be
Oh, there's got to be somebody somewhere waitin' for me.
To be loved by somebody that's the way it should be
Oh, there's got to be somebody out there waitin' for me...
Somebody's Needin' Somebody

Recorded during the height of his career, the track exemplifies the smooth, baritone delivery that defined his signature sound on albums like Love Songs [Collectables]. The song reflects the era's emphasis on storytelling and emotional resonance, where Twitty's ability to convey deep longing without relying on dramatic flourishes set a standard for the genre. As part of his extensive discography, this recording highlights his consistent focus on themes of isolation and the universal human need for connection, cementing his legacy as a premier figure in modern country music.
