Lyrics
there's a light
a certain kind of light
that never shone me on
i want my life to be
lived with you, lived with you
there's a way
everybody said
to do each and every little thing, yeah
but what does it bring
if i a'int got you, a'int got you
you don't know what it's like
you don't know what it's like
to love somebody, to love somebody
the way i love you
it's the same
i see your face again
i know my frame of mind, yeah
you a'int got to be so blind
am i so blind, blind to believe
i'm a man
can't you see
this is what i am, yeah
i live and breathe for you
but what good does it do
if i a'int got you?
you don't know what it's like
you don't know what it's like
to love somebody, to love somebody
the way i love you
you don't know what it's like
you don't know what it's like
to love somebody, to love somebody
the way i love you
to love somebody, to love somebody
the way i love you
