When somebody loves you
The whole world just disappears
You don't have to hid the pain
You don't have to count the tears
There is a reason for everything you do
When somebody loves you
When somebody loves you

When somebody needs you
More than you need yourself
If you get that feelin'
You don't need nothin' else
And if I could hold you
I know you'd feel it too
When somebody needs you
When somebody needs you

I hope that I have a real good chance
I want to be there when you fall in love

When somebody wants you
You can see it in their eyes
So how can you look at me
And not even realize
Baby, there's nothing my poor heart wouldn't do
Somebody loves you, baby
Somebody loves you

And if I could hold you
I know you'd feel it too
Somebody loves you, baby
Somebody loves you...
