Only you could ever know
How hard it was for me to let you go
Hard to face all those nights
And suffer thru all the fools' 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)
Somebody like you (Some 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
And 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 (Some to take your place)
Somebody like you (Someone to fill this empty space)
Now you're gone away (girl)
And I'm left to carry on
Ain't nobody else gonna bear up
Somebody like you (And if I can't have the real thing)
Someone
Somebody like you (I hope someone will come today)
Somebody like you (Someone to take me all the way)
Somebody like you (Some to take your place)
Somebody like you (Someone to fill this empty space) (Repeat and fade)
