Somebody

You’ve got to face the fact

That in the world today

They try and take away the blue skies

And all the children that play

But it’s a curious fact

In every hour in every place

That when the right time arrives

It feels so good to be alive

Somebody

Can’t you see

I’m a boy out of fashion

Somebody

I’m not part of any nation

Now I’m back in circulation

When the right time arrives will you be there

Tomorrow or a hundred years from now

I’ve wasted years just keepin’ movin’ on

It never entered my head it was here all along

Don’t ask me why just lead me on

Somebody

Talk to me

I can hear what you’re saying

Somebody

Tired of the city air

If I gave you the future would you meet me there

I used to stumble and fall

I’d run to everyone that called

Since you appeared it’s been a lot of fun

Between you and me, between the truth and a lie

You have a husband and I have a wife

And when you ask me why with your kissing eyes

How could we be so wrong, oh my oh my oh my

You’ll always be there the same as any other

You like a sister and me like a brother

Like all the times I used to dream

Somebody

Smile at me

Let me know that you’re near me

Somebody

I can see that you’re near me

It’s the only sound on the city street

If I sing you my song will you move your feet

Somebody

Every moment you’re nearer

I’m broken down and in a mess

Your love is all that I confess

Somebody

Now I know that you’re near me

I don’t mean to shock, I don’t mean to scare

But the world won’t change and I don’t care

I used to dream

One day somebody near me

I can’t believe you’re making me

A rich man, poor man, beggar man, thief

There’s a strange new rhythm in my life

It burns like the sun and cuts like a knife

Everybody chic or shoddy

Turn it loose and use your body
