Let Somebody Love Me

[Verse 1]
Oh lord
Cold lonely streets and the unkind
People from behind their blinds
Peek out at me and all they see
Is a fool in the dark, alone in the park
Sitting here, with my heart in my hand
Trying hard to understand
Why am I here alone on the out looking in at the world of love?
Please, heaven above
Let somebody love me

[Verse 2]
For who am I, and where am I heading?
Without love I'm just hopelessly treading
Lost and apart, I'm chained to a heart I refuse to give
I was afraid to live
Silver and gold was my security
I traded and sold all that was good in me
All but a cry in my heart
Though I try, I can't make it heard
Four precious words, "Let somebody love me"

[Verse 3]
Is it too much to ask?
Is it too large a task to send me someone who needs someone too?
She doesn't have to be a beauty queen
Just someone true, you know what I mean
Someone I can depend on when all my dreams are gone
To lead me home

[Outro]
(Let somebody love me)
Heaven above, I need somebody to love me
(Let somebody love me)
Let somebody love me
(Let somebody love me)
Heaven above, I need someone to love
(Let somebody love me)
Let somebody love me
(Let somebody love me)
Oh lord up above, please let somebody love me
