Up on the east side to the west side
Across the city, the great divide
Nights are long if you ain’t got the money
The streets are empty as an exit sign

You paint by numbers tonight
But it ain’t worth the fight

You’re just half of a heart
Until you love somebody
You don’t know who you are
Until you love somebody
Until you love someone

Is that a torch, baby, or just a candle?
The lights are burning but there’s no one there
Is it fire that you, you, just can’t handle?
Could it be that you just might care?

You’ve got my name on your lips
Come on and let it slip

You’re just half of a heart
Until you love somebody
You don’t know who you are
Until you love somebody
Until you love someone

Throw a line and I’ll pull you in
Oh, yeah, 'cause it’s sink or swim
Give it up, baby
Come on give me your heart

You’re just half of a heart
Until you love somebody
You don’t know who you are
Until you love somebody

You’re just half of a heart
Until you love somebody
You don’t know who you are
Until you love somebody
Until you love someone

Somebody, oh, yeah
Somebody
You’re just half of a heart
Until you love someone
