Oh lord Cold lonely streets and the unkind People from behind their blinds Peek out at me and all they see Is a fool in the dark, alone in the park Sitting here, with my heart in my hand Trying hard to understand Why am I here alone on the out looking in at the world of love? Please, heaven above Let somebody love me For who am I, and where am I heading? Without love I'm just hopelessly treading Lost and apart, I'm chained to a heart I refuse to give I was afraid to live Silver and gold was my security I traded and sold all that was good in me All but a cry in my heart Though I try, I can't make it heard Four precious words, "Let somebody love me" Is it too much to ask? Is it too large a task to send me someone who needs someone too? She doesn't have to be a beauty queen Just someone true, you know what I mean Someone I can depend on when all my dreams are gone To lead me home (Let somebody love me) Heaven above, I need somebody to love me (Let somebody love me) Let somebody love me (Let somebody love me) Heaven above, I need someone to love (Let somebody love me) Let somebody love me (Let somebody love me) Oh lord up above, please let somebody love me
