Can anybody find me somebody to love? Each morning I get up I die a little Can barely stand on my feet Take a look at yourself in the mirror take a look in the mirror and I cry and I cry Lord, what you're doing to me? I have spent all my years in believing you But I just can't get no relief, Lord Somebody somebody Oh, somebody somebody Can anybody find me somebody to love?
