[Verse 1]
I need someone to say they need me, even if they don't mean a word
I don't need some stupid someone, complaining about something she heard
I'd marry anybody tomorrow, just to run from trouble and sorrow
[Chorus]
Gotta find peace and happiness, before I die, yeah
Gotta find me somebody, before I get old, yeah
[Verse 2]
I have only one life before me, musn't worry 'bout missing that
So when the thing come down to leaving, I'm the first one to get my hat
I'll eat that bones and gravy, oh I'll let you drive me crazy
[Chorus]
Gotta find peace and happiness, before I die, yeah
Gotta find me somebody, before I get old, yeah
[Verse 3]
Now if you love me you got to show me, don't expect for me to stain my knees
I know that you can live without me, but I'll be so much at ease
Just to have somebody to hold me, both arms wide open and folded
[Chorus]
Gotta find peace and happiness, before I die, yeah
Gotta find me somebody, before I get old, yeah
[Verse 4]
This is a hopeless situation, I no longer want to see this place
I'm gonna leave this house tomorrow, kicking dirt in your mamma's face
I'm leaving in stormy weather, just to get myself together
[Chorus]
Gotta find peace and happiness, before I die, yeah
Gotta find me somebody, before I get old, yeah
Gotta find me somebody, before I get old, yeah
