Somebody to love

I been all over this country
Been half way 'round the world
I been travelin' so dog gone much
That I haven't got a steady girl.

Somebody to love
Somebody to love
Somebody to call me turtledove
Somebody to love.
Yes I guess I been lucky

I had me fortune and fame
But I would give up my rovin' ways
Just to change some girlie's name.

Somebody to love
Somebody to love
Somebody to call me turtledove
Somebody to love.

I been hurtin'
Such a long, long time
I been searchin'
Where's that girl of mine?
Won't you hear me now …

If there's somebody listenin'
Won't you answer my plea?
Won't you send me some good, good girl
To spend her life with me.

Somebody to love
Somebody to love

Somebody to call me turtledove
Somebody to love.

I been hurtin'
Such a long, long time
I been searchin'
Where's that girl of mine?
Won't you hear me now …

If there's somebody listenin'
Won't you answer my plea?
Won't you send me a good, good girl
To spend her life with me.

Somebody to love
Somebody to love
Somebody to call me turtledove
Somebody to love.

Somebody to love
Somebody to love
Somebody to call me turtledove
Somebody to love.

I need someone to love …
Somebody to love …
Somebody to love …
