Use Somebody
Kings of Leon · 2010 Grammy Nominees [2010]
Always looking down at all I see
Painted faces fill the places I can't reach
You know that I could use somebody
You know that I could use somebody
Someone like you
And all you know
And how you speak
Countless lovers undercover of the street
You know that I could use somebody
You know that I could use somebody
Someone like you
Off in the night
While you live it up I'm off to sleep
Waging wars to shape the poet and the beat
I hope it's gonna make you notice
I hope it's gonna make you notice
Someone like me
Someone like me
Someone like me
Somebody
Someone like you
Somebody
Someone like you
Somebody
Someone like you
Somebody
I've been roaming around
Always looking down at all I see
Use Somebody
