Somebody

Ray Charles

Today
I heard a man say, he told me
Somebody
(Somebody)
Had just stolen his woman away
(Somebody)
Oh, lord, somebody
(Somebody)
Stole his girl today
(Somebody)
He kept right on talking, he said

I don't know whether to laugh or cry
I feel like a wanna go somewhere and lay right down and die
Somebody
(Somebody)
Just stole my woman away
(Somebody)
Hey, hey, hey, hey
(Somebody)
Somebody stole my girl today
(Somebody)
Ain't it a shame

You know I can't hide
Oh no
This pain I feel inside
Somebody
(Somebody)
Stole my girl away
(Somebody)
Now I don't know who is was but somebody
(Somebody)
Just took my woman today
Bad news
Now, fellas, y'all better listen to me

If your woman seems a little uptight
Brothers, whatever y'all been doin', you sure better start doin' it right
Or somebody
(Somebody)
Will steal your woman away
(Somebody)
I'm tryna tell you something, fellas
(Somebody)
They'll steal your girl today
Yeah
(Somebody)
Make that horn funk

(Somebody)
(Somebody)
(Somebody)
All right, now, girls
(Somebody)
I got something for y'all, listen

Some woman do and some woman don't
So if you wanna keep your man, girls, you better give him what he wants
Or you'll let somebody
(Somebody)
Steal your man away
(Somebody)
Hey, hey
(Somebody)
Yeah, they'll love your man today
(Somebody)

And you know what else?
You better keep that rooster close to your crib
And girls don't get to excited about that woman's lib
And let some woman
(Somebody)
Steal your man away
(Somebody) Good god
Girls don't let 'em fool ya
(Somebody)
'Cause they'll take your man today
(Somebody)

Now one last thing, girls
Don't be advertising your man, saying all he can do
Next thing you know, it'll be her instead of you
(Somebody)
Lord, no, don't let them steal 'em away, girls
(Somebody)
They won't wait till tomorrow
(Somebody)
They'll be lovin' your man today
(Somebody)
Hey, hey, hey, hey
(Somebody)
I know
(Somebody)
