To Love Somebody Lyrics

There' a light
A certain kind of light
I want my whole life to be
To live it with you
Live it with you

There's a way
Everybody says
Do each and every little thing
What good does it bring
If I ain't got you If I ain't got you
I ain't got you I ain't got you

You don't know
What it's like
Baby you don't
What it's like
To love somebody
To love somebody
The way I love you

In my brain
See your face again
I know my frame of mind
You ain't got to be so blind
And I'm blind so blind

I'm a woman
Can't you see what I am
I live and I breathe for you
What good does it do
If I ain't got you If I ain't got you
I ain't got you I ain't got you

Say you don't know
What is like
Baby you don't know
To love somebody
To love somebody
The way I love you

Oh you don't know
What is like
Baby you don't know
To love somebody
To love somebody
The way I love you

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

Cover art for To Love Somebody lyrics by Nina Simone

To be in love with somebody and they don't love you back the same. The relationship is ending or ended and she is singing what I feel right now. I love someone and she is back in Colorado. I am doing everything I can to get back to Colorado to be with her... and I feel her slipping away... her love isn't the same love I have

I miss you Sarah
