Only you could ever know
How hard it was for me to let you go
Hard to face all those nights
And suffer through all the fool's 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 carry on
Ain't nobody else gonna bear up to comparison
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)
Someone like you
(Someone to take your place)
Somebody like you
(Someone to fill this empty space)
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 of my side
Now you're gone away and I'm left to carry on
Ain't nobody else gonna bear up to comparison
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)
'Cause I need someone
♪
Now you're gone away
Girl and I'm left to carry on
Ain't nobody else gonna bear up
Somebody like you
(You got the real thing)
Someone, somebody like you girl
(I hope someone will come today)
Somebody like you girl
To take my heart away (someone to take me all the way)
Somebody like you, girl
(Someone to take your place)
I need someone like you, girl
(Someone to fill this empty space)
Somebody like you, girl (I hope someone will come today)
Send me down, send me down somebody to love
Send me down, send me down somebody to love
I need someone
(Someone to fill this empty space)
(I hope someone will come today)
To take me all the way, to take me home
