Why?
How could you fall this time?
Fall for that same old line?
A line I know you’ve heard from me at least a hundred times
But here I am again
You’ll take me back and then
It won’t be long till I’ll be gone
Upon my way again
What’s somebody like you
Lovin’ somebody like me for, baby?
What’s somebody like you
Lovin’ somebody like me for, child?
What’s somebody like you
Lovin’ somebody like me for, baby?
What’s somebody like you
Lovin’ somebody like me for, child?
Baby, sorry, it’s only me
Don’t want nobody stayin’ up late at night
Waitin’ on me, waitin’ on me, waitin’ on me
Can’t seem to settle down
Maybe I’ll just hang around
But every time you pick me up
I guess I take you down
But though I wonder why you want me
Somehow I just know if you stopped lovin’ me
I’d crawl on off and die
What’s somebody like you
Lovin’ somebody like me for, baby?
What’s somebody like you
Lovin’ somebody like me for, child?
What’s somebody like you
Lovin’ somebody like me for, baby?
What’s somebody like you
Lovin’ somebody like me for, child?
(Better go find somebody to love you
Better go find somebody to love
Better go find somebody to love you
Better go find somebody to love)
(Better go find somebody to love you
Better go find somebody to love)
What’s somebody like you
Lovin’ somebody like me for, baby?
What’s somebody like you
Lovin’ somebody like me for, child?
What’s somebody like you
Lovin’ somebody like me for, baby?
What’s somebody like you
Lovin’ somebody like me for, child?
Baby, sorry, it’s only me
Don’t want nobody stayin’ up late at night
Waitin’ on me, waitin’ on me, waitin’ on me
Can’t seem to settle down
Maybe I’ll just hang around
But every time you pick me up
I guess I take you down
But though I wonder why you want me
Somehow I just know if you stopped lovin’ me
I’d crawl on off and die
What’s somebody like you
Lovin’ somebody like me for, baby?
What’s somebody like you
Lovin’ somebody like me for, child?
What’s somebody like you
Lovin’ somebody like me for, baby?
What’s somebody like you
Lovin’ somebody like me for, child?
Better go find somebody to love you
Better go find somebody to love
Better go find somebody to love you
Better go find somebody to love
