[Verse 1]
There's a light, a certain kind of light
That never shown on me
I want my life to be
To live with you, to live with you
And there's a way, everybody says
To do each and every little thing
But what good does it bring
If I ain't got you, if I ain't got you?

[Chorus]
Baby, you don't know what it's like
Baby, you don't know what it's like
You don't know what it's like
To love somebody, to love somebody
The way I love you, yeah

[Verse 2]
In my mind, I see your face again
I know my frame of mind
You ain't got to be so blind
Oh, but I'm blind, I'm so very blind
'Cause I'm a man, can't you see what I am?
I live and breathe for you
But what good does it do
If I ain't got you, if I ain't got you?
[Chorus]
Baby, you don't know what it's like
Baby, you don't know what it's like
You don't know what it's like
To love somebody, to love somebody
The way I love you, oh
Sing it to me, baby

[Bridge]
(You don't know what it's like)
You don't know, you don't know, darling
(You don't know what it's like)
To love somebody
(You don't know what it's like)
To really, really love somebody, baby
(You don't know what it's like)
You don't know what it's like to love somebody the way I love you
(You don't know what it's like)
You don't know, baby, you don't know
(You don't know what it's like)
To love somebody, really love somebody
(You don't know what it's like)
You just don't know, ooh
(You don't know what it's like)

[Outro]
To love somebody, baby, the way I love you
