[Verse 1]
When you want someone
You're like a child at play
And when you need someone
It's such a lonely game

[Chorus 1]
But when you love someone
The sun shines just for you
When you love someone
Your heart, it lights up too

[Verse 2]
When you want someone
It's neither here nor there
And when you need someone
The pain's too much to bear

[Chorus 2]
But when you love someone
It's like Shangri-La around you
When you love someone
There's the beauty that surrounds you

[Verse 3]
When you want someone
You look and think how nice
And when you need someone
You feel like you're gonna die
But you can be so happy
[Chorus 3]
When you love someone
When you love someone
When you love someone
When you love someone

[Breakdown]
Oh stars come out tonight
And shine so very bright
I love someone, thank God I love someone
Stars come out tonight
And shine so very bright
I love someone, thank God I love someone
Oh stars come out tonight
And shine so very bright
I love someone
Oh stars come out tonight
And shine so very bright
Oh stars come out tonight (when you love someone)
And shine so very bright
(When you love someone)

[Instrumental break]

[Breakdown]
Oh stars come out tonight
And shine so very bright
Oh stars come out tonight
And shine for me so very bright, oh oh
When you love someone
Oh stars come out tonight
And shine so very bright
Oh stars come out tonight (When you love someone)
And shine so very bright
I love someone, I love someone
Oh stars come out tonight
And shine...
