Somebody's Cryin' Lyrics
I know somebody and they cry for you
They lie awake at night and dream of you
I bet you never even know they do
But somebody’s crying
I know somebody and they called your name
A million times and still you never came
They go on loving you just the same
I know that somebody’s trying
So please
Return the love
You took from me
Or please
Let me know
It can’t be me
I know when somebody’s lyin'
I know when somebody’s lyin'
I know that somebody’s lyin'
I know that somebody’s lyin'
Give me a sign and let me know we’re thru
If you don’t love me like I love you
But if you cry at night the way I do
I’ll know that somebody’s lyin'
So please
Return the love
You took from me
Or please
Let me know
It can’t be me
I know when somebody’s lyin'
I know when somebody’s lyin'
They lie awake at night and dream of you
I bet you never even know they do
But somebody’s crying
A million times and still you never came
They go on loving you just the same
I know that somebody’s trying
Return the love
You took from me
Or please
Let me know
It can’t be me
I know when somebody’s lyin'
I know when somebody’s lyin'
I know that somebody’s lyin'
If you don’t love me like I love you
But if you cry at night the way I do
I’ll know that somebody’s lyin'
Return the love
You took from me
Or please
Let me know
It can’t be me
I know when somebody’s lyin'
I know when somebody’s lyin'

listening to this album just makes me want to curl up on a couch and cry but i can't stop listening to it
;) good song.
It might just be me but, doesn't this song's intro sound a lot like Hole's Northern Star
great song
it could be about a lost love
The whole album is about a lost love. It's not all that abstract for the most part.
basically he loves this girl and he doesnt know if she likes him or not... and hes asking her to tell "So please Return the love You took from me Or please Let me know It can’t be me"
It seems that he and this woman were in a relationship... and she seems to have "lost the spark" or whatever term u wish to use. But...obviously, he has his doubts..he seems to think she could be fooling herself..but she doesnt wanna talk to him...so he's just pleading for her to come back or just tell him outright that it's over... coz...he "knows whem somebody's lying" all he needs to hear is 'yes' or 'no'.
aint this song just so great. it makes me feel best when i'm feelin' lonely, just giving me that hope that maybe somebody is thinkin' bout me for a second. sure sure, the songs really about a lost love and chris trying to prove to her that he still loves her, but, what the hey :P
This song is a very catchy song by itself even if you dont listen to the lyrics. And Chris Isaak sings in only a way he could. I agree with zombie eater, this song really does cheer you up in a way. Has for me before. It has such a good atmosphere when your feeling down, maybe this is because you may be thinking someone else has felt low like this before thus gives you a lil hope. You sure can feel for Chris when he sings this song.
