[Intro]
Somebody's somebody
Somewhere, someone
[Verse 1]
It's 2 o'clock in the morning and I just can't sleep
Outside the rain is pouring, I'm lonely as can be
Maybe tonight'll be different than the nights before
I need to feel someone beside me, I can't be alone no more
[Chorus]
Tonight I want to be somebody's somebody
Tonight I want to belong to someone
(Someone)
Tonight I want to be somebody's somebody
Tonight I want somebody that'll do it until the job gets done
(Oh yeah)
[Verse 2]
This big old world can be so empty living in it all alone
I realize, in its best disguise, a pretty house don't make a home
There's a hunger deep inside of me, how the fire burns
I want to give good love to someone and get good love in return, oh
[Chorus]
Tonight I want to be somebody's somebody
(Somebody's somebody)
Tonight I want to belong to someone
(Someone)
Tonight I want to be somebody's somebody
(I want to be somebody's somebody)
Tonight I want somebody that'll do it until the job gets done
(Oh yeah)
[Spoken Interlude]
Someone to hold me in that hour midnight
Someone to console me when things ain't goin' too right
Someone to bring me dinner sometime, yeah
(Mine, all mine)
Somebody to can call all mine
[Verse 3]
It's 2:05 in the morning and I got no one to call
I'm longin' to hear another voice inside these lonely walls
(Lonely walls)
Maybe tonight'll be different than the nights before (Maybe not)
I need to feel someone beside me
I cannot be alone no more (No more, no more!)
[Chorus]
Tonight I want to be somebody's somebody
(Somebody's somebody)
Tonight I want to belong to someone
(I don't want to be alone)
Tonight I want to be somebody's somebody
(I don't want to wait another day, no)
Tonight I want somebody that'll do it until the job gets done
(I'll do it over and over and over and over, yeah)
Tonight I want to be somebody's somebody
(Ooh, I don't want to wait, no!)
Tonight I want to belong to someone
(Can I belong to you, baby? Oh yeah!)
Tonight I want to be somebody's somebody
(Ooh, slow, deep and long)
Tonight I want somebody that'll do it until the job gets done
(Do me over and over and over and over)
Tonight I want to be somebody's somebody
[Outro]
Oh yeah
If you're out there, come on, baby
I'll keep it hot for you
(Tonight I want to be somebody's somebody)
Come on, baby
(Tonight I want somebody that'll do it until the job gets done, oh yeah)
Done
Somebody's somebody
