Somebody Like Me
Samantha Mumba · Other Songs - Samantha Mumba
You sit there with your red lips stained
Tryin so hard to explain
How you feel, how you wanna feel and how
Time after time you let yourself down
The one helps grow your self-doubt
And you're trying so hard but your light is out
(Pre-Chorus)
It's never easy to see what they see
When you're blinded by yourself from what you used to be
(Chorus)
Why you wanna go and make love with somebody?
Why you wanna go and make love with somebody?
Why you wanna go and make love with somebody?
Why you wanna go and make love with somebody like me?
With somebody like me
With somebody like me
With somebody like me
(Verse)
Tired eyes and you leather tights
You've been running round in circles tryin to pick your fights
About time you let this go
It's been racing down your fingers through your hips and toes
As the light dims and your dark fades
You're struggling to find the words you're dying to say
(Pre-Chorus)
It's never easy to see what they see
When you're blinded by yourself from what you used to be
(Chorus x2)
Why you wanna go and make love with somebody?
Why you wanna go and make love with somebody?
Why you wanna go and make love with somebody?
Why you wanna go? Why you wanna go go?
(Bridge x2)
Tell me, tell me why you wanna
Tell me, tell me how you gonna
Tell me, tell me why you wanna
(Chorus)
Why you wanna go and make love with somebody?
Why you wanna go and make love with somebody?
Why you wanna go and make love with somebody?
Why you wanna go? Why you wanna go go?
Why you wanna go and make love with somebody?
Why you wanna go and make love with somebody?
Why you wanna go and make love with somebody?
Why you wanna go and make love with somebody like me?
With somebody like me
With somebody like me
With somebody like me
With somebody like me
Why you wanna go? Why you wanna go go?
Why you wanna go? (go go)
(go go) Why you wanna go? (go go)
