I've been roaming around always lookin' down at all I see,
Painted faces filled with 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
Whoa ah ohh Whoa ah ohhh 

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
Whoa ah ohh whoa ah ohh
Someone like me
Whoa ah ohh whoa ah ohh
Someone like me, somebody
Whoa ah ohh whoa ah ohhh 

I'm ready, I'm ready
I'm ready, I'm ready

Someone like you, somebody
(Whoa ah ohh whoa ah ohhh)
Someone like you, somebody
(Whoa ah ohh whoa ah ohhh)
Someone like you, somebody
(Whoa ah ohh whoa ah ohhh)

I've been roaming around always lookin down at all I see.
