Love Somebody

Bing Crosby · Other Songs - Bing Crosby

Love somebody, yes, I do

Love somebody, yes, I do

Love somebody, yes, I do

I love somebody but I won't say who



Handsome, say, he's six feet tall

And his picture's on my wall

Love to be his baby doll

If he kissed me I [Buddy joins in] wouldn't mind at all



I love somebody, yes, I do

Love somebody, yes, I do

Love somebody, yes, I do

Love somebody but I won't say who



Don't know why she acts so shy,

She oughta know I wouldn't dream

Of even hurtin' a fly

Hope she doesn't pass me by

'cause if she did I'd die, I know I'd die



I love somebody, yes, I do

Love somebody, yes, I do

Love somebody, yes, I do

Love somebody but I won't say who



He's big and strong

Would'ja like to feel my muscle?

Bold and gay

I never once lost a tussle

At the moment he's not very far away

Why don'tcha say who, say already?

I'd want to marry him today

But you don't say who

That I cannot do

Happen to be me?

Possibility

Won'tcha tell me who ya love?

Love somebody

Tell me true

Yes, I do

Yes, you do

Love somebody

I do, too

And I do

Maybe me

Love somebody

I hope it's me



Love somebody but I won't say who

(At this point Doris sang, "say and Buddy sang tell".



C'mon confess

Why don'tcha try and guess?

Do tell.

Let's tell.

You promise not to breathe a word?

Doris, don't be absurd

Strictly entre-nous?

Oui, oui!! We two



Well

Confidentially

Between you and me

Confidentially

I love somebody

I've got news for you

Love somebody

I feel that way, too

Love somebody

Glad it's true

That somebody that I love is you

Love Somebody - Bing Crosby

Bing Crosby's 'Love Somebody' stands as a quintessential example of his mastery in the romantic ballad genre, characterized by his signature warm, intimate vocal delivery. Recorded during the mid-20th century, the track exemplifies the acoustic and orchestral arrangements typical of Crosby's solo work, where he often stripped back the instrumentation to highlight the emotional nuance of the melody. As a staple of his discography, the song reflects the era's popular standards, focusing on themes of enduring affection and personal connection. Crosby's ability to convey deep sentiment through his voice made such recordings enduring favorites, cementing his status as a leading figure in American music history.
