Somebody Like That

Well he coudldn' be more than seventy
She's not a day over sixty-five
The flicker turned to a flame in '43
And the fire's still burning bright

They'll be found holdin' hands at the picture show
Lookin' just like Juliet and Romeo
A sad song won't steal the beat away
They got a special kind of love that's here to stay

See the romance on the porch swing
Auburn hair to a silver linin'
There's something in their eyes
You just don't see these days

Now I wanna love somebody like that
I wanna hold on forever-er
Two heart's become one with a love like that
I wanna love somebody like that
I wanna love somebody, yeah

I was head over heels in junior high
And it lasted a week or two
When my heart was destroyed I cried and cried
'Til I found me somebody new

Now life without real love is tragedy
That's why I'm gonna find a love that's right for me
I've gotta look beyond what my eyes can see
Until my dreams are reality

There's gotta be more to fallin' in love
Than fallin' away when the stayin' gets tough
I want my love to be young when I'm old and gray

I wanna love somebody like that, I wanna hold on forever
Two hearts become one with a love like that
I wanna love somebody like that
I wanna love somebody, yeah
