Lyrics To Love Somebody

To Love Somebody was written by Barry and Robin Gibb of the Bee Gees. It was originally written for Otis Redding, who died in a plane crash before he could record it. Released in 1967, it became one of the Bee Gees most famous songs, reflecting the desire to be able to love someone deeply.

There's a light
A certain kind of light
That never shone on me
I want my life to be lived with you
Lived with you
There's a way, everybody say
To do each and every little thing
But what good does it bring?
If I ain't got you, ain't got you

You don't know what it's like, baby
You don't know what it's like
To love somebody
To love somebody
The way I love you

In my brain,
I see your face again
I know my frame of mind
You ain't got to be so blind
And I'm blind, so very blind
I'm a man, can't you see
What I am?
I live and breathe for you
But what good does it do
If I ain't got you, ain't got?

You don't know what its like, baby
You don't know what it's like
To love somebody
To love somebody
The way I love you 2x
