Phyllis Hyman
Let Somebody Love You
[Verse 1]
You've been lost inside yourself
Left your feelings on the shelf for so long
Second nature now
You're afraid of promises
You never let a stranger in your wondering arms
Someone worth your down

[Pre-Chorus]
Anything that time might change you will eventually
Swear that love will never be sincere
Give it all just half a chance, keep an open heart
You can't be happy the way you are

[Chorus]
You should let somebody love you
Let a true love find you
Let somebody love you
It's not so hard to do if you try
Ooh, if you try

[Verse 2]
Your desires need a home
They will just wait there alone
Without someone you can share them with
Why put on that same old act?
Face up to the natural fact
That everyone needs some love to live
[Pre-Chorus]
You're not fooling anyone saying you're complete
You're only half of what you need to be
Give it all just half a chance, keep an open heart
You can't be happy the way you are

[Chorus]
You should let somebody love you
Let a true love find you
Ooh, let somebody love you
It's not so hard to do if you try
(You must, you must)
Let somebody love you

[Outro]
(You must, you must)
Let somebody love you
Ooh, let a true love find you
Come on and let somebody love you
It's not too hard to do if you try
(You must, you must)
Let somebody love you
You got to let a true love find you
Oh, let somebody love ya
It's not so hard to do if you try
(You must, you must)
Let somebody love you
