I Gotta Find Someone (Who Loves Like I Do)
Porter Wagoner · Country (RCA Camden) [1971]
I can't stand the thoughts of you with somebody else
I can't keep pretending just foolin' myself
It hurts me too much to think you'll never be mine
But somewhere there's someone that I've got to find.
I've gotta find someone who loves like I do
I've gotta have someone wish it could have been you
Oh it tears my heart out to think we are through
But I've gotta find someone who loves like I do.
I've gotta find someone who loves like I do
I've gotta have someone wish it could have been you
Oh it tears my heart out to think we are through
But I've gotta find someone who loves like I do...
