If You Need Somebody

I hate to see you bummin', but boy, I saw it comin'

That girl just wasn't meant for you

I see you goin' through 'em, and nothin' I can do

And I could kick myself for not tellin' you

The way I feel about you, held back so long

If you need somebody

To be the one to see you through

If you want somebody

Who knows you just the way I do

If you're tired of searchin', baby

And your heart's about to run aground

Only to get turn around

'Cause I've been waiting

Never could have guessed it, best friends

Since we were kids, but now I

Lose it every time that you're near

With every need dead end, it's gettin' harder to pretend

When I know all you need is standin' right here

The way I feel about you, held back so long

If you need somebody

To be the one to see you through

If you want somebody

Who knows you just the way I do

If you're tired of searchin', baby

And your heart's about to run aground

Only to get turn around

'Cause I've been waiting

(To understand you like I do)

And when you're all alone and your heart keeps saying

You just can't take it

Just take a look around and you just might find

I'm a chance worth takin'

The way I feel about you, a love so strong

If you need somebody

To be the one to see you through

If you want somebody

Who knows you just the way I do

If you're tired of searchin', baby

And your heart's about to run aground

Only to get turn around

'Cause I've been waiting
