Only you could ever know

How hard it was for me to let you go

Hard to face all those nights

And suffer thru all the fools' advice



It 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 (I hope someone will come today)

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

Somebody like you (Some to take your place)

Somebody like you (Someone to fill this empty space)



What you got it's what you need 

There's pain in that but it's plain enough to see 

Oh I know I was satisfied

But nobody else came out of my side



And 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 (I hope someone will come today)

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

Somebody like you (Some to take your place)

Somebody like you (Someone to fill this empty space)



Now you're gone away (girl) 

And I'm left to carry on

Ain't nobody else gonna bear up 

Somebody like you (And if I can't have the real thing) 

Someone 



Somebody like you (I hope someone will come today)

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

Somebody like you (Some to take your place)

Somebody like you (Someone to fill this empty space) (Repeat and fade)
