[Chorus]
I've got to love somebody’s baby
'Cause somebody, somebody's been lovin’ mine
Everybody around me knew it
But I was in the dark for a long time
I've got to get what she's been giving
Get myself together and start living
I've got to hold somebody's baby
'Cause somebody, somebody's been holdin' mine
And lately, when I try to squeeze her
She says "Maybe later, right now I don’t have the time"

[Verse]
It’s not an eye-for-an-eye
But I need a little help
Now I'm looking out for number one
Starvin’ for lovin'
I've got to love somebody's baby
’Cause somebody's sure been lovin' mine

[Instrumental Break]

[Chorus]
Ooh, I've got to love somebody's baby
'Cause somebody, somebody's been lovin' mine
Everybody around me knew it
But I was in the dark for a long time
I've got to get what she's been giving
Get myself together and start living
I've sure got to hold somebody's baby
'Cause somebody sure been holdin' mine
[Outro]
And wait a minute
I don't know where I went wrong, darling
Got you a big house and telephone
A washing machine and fine car
Now I don't know half the time where you are
But let me tell you, what's good for number two
Is good for number one
If you're gonna keep on being untrue
I can play that same old game too
I've got to love-
I've got to love somebody's baby
I've got to love, love, love, love, love, love, somebody's baby
Got me talkin' to myself
Lord knows I don't want nobody else
And what hurts [?]
[?]
But I'm sure gonna love somebody...
