The painter took his paintbrush
And he tried to paint a scene
About a girl that he once met
One night inside a dream
Throughout the night he painted
And by the following day
An image lived on canvas
Through two eyes that had to say
I need someone (I need someone), someone to care
Someone who's real (I need someone), with love to share
He chose the brightest colors
To mix with his palette knife
And then some final touches
Brought the picture into life
The painter whispered words of love
The picture could not hear
He sadly took his paintbrush
And he cleaned it with a tear
I need someone (I need someone), someone to care
Someone who's real (I need someone), with love to share
He glanced upon his painting
Smiling as he saw
She lived ... (?) concrete statues
Throughout mankind and all war
I need someone (I need someone), someone like you
To give me love (I need someone), my whole life through
I need someone (I need someone), someone to care
Someone who's real (I need someone), with love to share
