I Need Somebody

[Verse 1]
I've been seeing things in a different light
I've been wondering why things ain't going right
Everywhere I go I see such pain and grief
I've been wondering where I could find relief

[Pre-Chorus]
And I'm thinking that you might be the one
Thinking of the good things that we could become

[Chorus]
'Cause I need somebody to let me be me
Open the doors to my heart and set me free
I need somebody just to be my friend
And if you're that someone, ooh, you can walk right on in

[Verse 2]
I keep feeling sorry about the life I lead
I keep searching around trying to fill my needs
Everywhere I look I see an empty space
But when I look at you, boy, I see your loving face

[Pre-Chorus]
So I'm thinking that I might find it here
Thinking you could take away the sadness and the tears

[Chorus]
'Cause I need somebody to let me be me
Open the doors to my heart and set me free
I need somebody to be my friend
And if you're that someone, oh-oh, you can walk right on in
'Cause I need somebody to let me be me
Open the doors to my heart and set me free
I need somebody, yeah, just to be my friend
And if you're that someone, oh yeah, you can walk right on in
'Cause I need somebody to let me be me
(I need somebody, yes, I do)
Open the doors to my heart and set me free
(I need somebody just like you)
And I need somebody just to be my friend
And if you're that someone, don't you know you can walk
You can walk in

[Outro]
I need somebody
