[Verse 1]
Kerosene eyes
I saw the future it burned me alive
I broke his heart in one night
And I left Missouri behind
Thought he was the one
Tortured soul in a preacher's son
Yeah, he prayed on his knees
He preyed on my need to be a light
[Chorus]
Someone's gotta love me not in vain
Somebody's gotta love me just the same
Somebody's gotta love me, I know it's true
My mistake was thinking it was you
[Verse 2]
Somеtimes, I forget
It wasn't always so innocent
Hе put a ring in my hand
I lied when I said
I wouldn't leave
That was years ago
It was always inevitable
Yeah, most days, he's gone
Some days, he comes
And talks to me
To me
[Chorus]
Someone's gotta love me not in vain
Somebody's gotta love me just the same
Somebody's gotta love me, I know it's true
My mistake was thinking it was you
[Post-Chorus]
Oh, oh
Oh, oh
Oh, oh
[Bridge]
Yeah, it took some time
To see the difference
Between him and I
And I'm still not quite sure
Just what I deserve
But someone's gotta love me
Someone's gotta love me
Someone's gotta love me, I know it's true
[Chorus]
Someone's gotta love me
Someone's gotta love me
Someone's gotta love me, I know it's true
My mistake was thinking it was you
[Post-Chorus]
Oh, oh
Oh, oh, it’s true
[Outro]
My mistake was thinking it was you
