Only you, could ever know

How hard it was for me to let you go

Hard to face, all those nights

And suffer through, all the fool's advice


Seems to me, it's not so bad

To try for the kind of love, that we had

Oh I need that romance

One that grows strong when it's got no chance


Now you're gone away, and I'm left to carry on

Ain't nobody else gonna bear up to comparison

And if I can't have the real thing

Then I've got to find someone

Just like you

Somebody like you (to fill this empty space)


What you got, is what you need

There's pain in that

But it's plain enough to see

I know I was satisfied

But nobody else came out on my side


Now you're gone away, and I'm left to carry on

Ain't nobody else gonna bear up to comparison

And if I can't have the real thing

Then I got to find someone

Just like you (I hope someone will come today)

Somebody like you (someone to take me all the way)

Somebody like you (someone fill this empty place)
