Only you~ could ever know~ how
hard it was for me to let you go~~
Hard to face~ all those nights~ and suffer
thru~ all the fools' advice~~
It seems to me~ it's not so bad~ to
try for the kind of love that we had~~
Oh I need~ that romance~ one that grows
strong~ when it's got no chance~
Now you're gone away~ and I'm left to car~ry on~
ain't nobody else gonna bear up to compa~rison~
and if I can't have the real thing, then I've got to find someone
just like you~ (I hope someone will come~ today~)
somebody like you~ (someone to take me all~ the way)
somebody like you~ (someone to take~ your place~)
somebody like you~(someone to fill this empty~ space~)
Pause
What you got~ it's what you need ~ there's
pain in that but it's plain enough to see~
Oh I know~ I was satisfied~ but nobody
else~ came out on my side~~
Now you're gone away~ and I'm left to car~ry on~
ain't nobody else gonna bear up to compa~rison~
and if I can't have the real thing, then I've got to find someone
just like you~ (I hope someone will come~ today~)
somebody like you~ (someone to take me all~ the way)
somebody like you~ (someone to take~ your place~)
somebody like you~(someone to fill this empty~ space~)
guitar break
Now you're gone away~ and I'm left to car~ry on~
ain't nobody else gonna bear up Somebody like
you~ (and if I can't have the real thing) Some~one~
(Repeat and fade)
just like you~ (I hope someone will come~ today~)
somebody like you~ (someone to take me all~ the way)
somebody like you~ (someone to take~ your place~)
somebody like you~(someone to fill this empty~ space~)
