To Love Somebody Lyrics

[Verse 1]
There's a light certain kind of light that never shone on me
I want my life to be lived with you oh lived with you there's a way
Everybody says to do each and every little thing
But what does it bring if I ain't got you?
If I ain't got you, baby

[Chorus]
You don't know what it's like
Baby, you don't know what it's like
To love somebody
To love somebody like I love you

[Verse 2]
In my brain I see your face again, I know my frame of mind
You ain't got to be so blind 'cause I'm blind so very blind
But babe, I'm a man, can't you see that I am?
I live and I breathe for you, what good does it do?
'Cause I ain't got you, baby

[Chorus]
You don't know what it's like
Baby, you don't know what it's like
To love somebody
To love somebody like I love you

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
