At times I've seen you down
In despair, walking round
I felt that you were alone
Baby, someone was by your side
To dry your tears, make you smile
But you were never alone

But one thing that you don't realise
(Somebody's looking out for you tonight)
Is it only a matter of time?

There's gotta be somebody, somebody who will love you
There's gotta be somebody, somebody who'll be there
And if you open your eyes, you'll see for the very first time
That somebody like me (somebody like me), loves somebody like you

(Somebody, somebody)

You say you're in control
Don't need a hand to hold
But still you take it from me (take it from me)
Baby, I've seen you fool before
Picked your heart up, off the floor
Tell me baby why can't you see?

There's something you should understand
(Everything you're looking for I am)
While you were busy with other plans

There's gotta be somebody, somebody who will love you (That will love you)
There's gotta be somebody, somebody who'll be there (That will always be there)
And if you open your eyes, you'll see for the very first time
That somebody like me (somebody like me), loves somebody like you

Somebody, somebody that will love you
Somebody that will always be there
Somebody, somebody that will love you
Somebody that will always be there

I need you in my life
To keep me warm through the lonely nights
Loving right by your side

Can I be your somebody?
Let me be your somebody

Yeah (Somebody, somebody, somebody that will love you)
Yeah (Somebody, somebody that will always be there)
And if you open your eyes, you'll see for the very first time
That somebody like me (somebody like me), loves somebody like you

Somebody, somebody, somebody, somebody
(Somebody, somebody) There's gotta be somebody, somebody who'll be there
(That will always be there)
And if you open your eyes, you'll see for the very first time
That somebody like me (somebody), loves somebody like you
