To Love Somebody 


There's a light 
A certain kind of light 
It's never shown on me 
I want my whole life to be 
Lived with you 
Lived with you 

There's a way 
Everybody say 
Do each and every little thing 
What good does it bring 
If I ain't got you
If I ain't got you


You don't know
What it's like 
Baby you don't know 
What it's like 
To love somebody 
To love somebody 
The way I love you 


In my brain 
See your face again 
I know my frame of mind 
You ain't got to be so blind 
And I'm so blind, so blind 


I'm a woman 
Can't you see what I am 
I live and breathe for you 
What good does it do 
If I ain't got you
If I ain't got you


Say you don't know
What it's like 
Baby you don't know what it's like 
To love somebody 
To love somebody 
The way I love you 


Oh, you don't know 
What it's like 
Baby you don't know 
What its like 
To love somebody 
To love somebody 
The way I love you


Love me or leave me

Love me or leave me and let me be lonely
You won't believe me but I love you only
I'd rather be lonley than happy with somebody else

You might find the night time the right time for kissing
Night time is my time for just reminiscing
Regretting instead of forgetting with somebody else

There'll be no one unless that someone is you
I intended to be independently blue

I want your love, don't wanna borrow
Have it today to give back tomorrow
Your love is my love
There's no love for nobody else

Say, love me or leave me and let me be lonely
You won't believe me but I love you only
I'd rather be lonley than happy with somebody else

You might find the night time the right time for kissing
Night time is my time for just reminiscing
Regretting instead of forgetting with somebody else

There'll be no one unless that someone is you
I intended to be independently blue

Say I want your love, don't wanna borrow
Have it today to give back tomorrow
Your love is my love
My love is your love
There's no love for nobody else


My Baby Just Cares For Me


My baby don't care for shows
My baby don't care for clothes
My baby just cares for me
My baby don't care for cars and races
My baby don't care for high-tone places

Liz Taylor is not his style
And even Lana Turner's smile
Is somethin' he can't see
My baby don't care who knows
My baby just cares for me

Baby, my baby don't care for shows
And he don't even care for clothes
He cares for me
My baby don't care
For cars and races
My baby don't care for
He don't care for high-tone places

Liz Taylor is not his style
And even Liberace's smile
Is something he can't see
Is something he can't see
I wonder what's wrong with baby
My baby just cares for
My baby just cares for
My baby just cares for me
