There's a light,
a certain kind of light,
That's never shone on me.
I wanted my life to be,
lived with you, lived with you,
and there's a way, many people say,
to do each and every thing.
But what good would it bring,
if I ain't got you, if I ain't got you.
[chorus]
You don't know what it's like,
you don't know what it's like
to love somebody, to love somebody
the way I love you.
And in my brain, let the record show.
I'll see your face again, and I know my frame of mind,
but please don't so flipping kind.
With you i'm blind,
I see things that aren't even there and what you saying.
But I'm a man, don't you see that's what I am.
And I lived and breathed for you.
What good did it do, 'cause I ain't got you,
and I'll never have you.
[chorus]
You don't know what it's like,
you don't know what it's like
to love somebody, to love somebody
the way I love you, always.
Timmy. (What?) Tell the people.
You, you, you, you, you, you, you, you,
you don't know what it's like,
you don't know what it's like
to love somebody, to love somebody
the way I love you, always. (Always will.)
You don't know what it's like, (tell em)
You don't know what it's like
to love somebody, to love somebody
the way I love you, the way I love you. (The way I love you)
You don't know what it's like,
you don't know what it's like
to love somebody, to love somebody
the way I love you, always, always
You don't know what it's like,
you don't know what it's like
to love somebody, to love somebody
the way I love you, always.
You don't know what it's like,
you don't know what it's like
to love somebody.
