That Somebody Was You
Toni Braxton · Other Songs - Toni Braxton
my heart has been broke in two.
I kept them waiting in line
Cause nobody's heart was true.
For every time I gave into love
I was always in the blue.
And just when I was about to give up
I found myself an angel; all in you.
I've been waiting a lifetime
For somebody to love me like you do.
I was thinking that I'd always be lonely
But God came up with someone like you.
Just to think, I had made up my mind love was over.
Somebody gave me their love:
That somebody was you.
I'll tell you night after night
I've prayed for someone like you.
But no one never was right
They could not compare to you.
I wasn't sure if I could endure
If things just stayed the same.
I didn't know that God had in store
and then he brought your loving my way.
I've been waiting a lifetime
For somebody to love me like you do,jeah oh yeah oh yeah
I was thinking that I'd always be lonely
But God came up with someone like you,yeah
Just to think I had made up my mind love was over
Somebody gave me the love
That somebody was you
I've been waiting a lifetime
For somebody to love me like you do
I was thinking that I'd always be lonely
But God came up with someone like you
Just to think I had made up my mind love was over
Somebody gave me the love
That somebody was you
Only you
That somebody was you
That somebody was you...
