To Love Somebody Lyrics
A certain kind of light
That never shone on me
I want my life to be lived with you
Lived with you
There's a way everybody say
To do each and every little thing
But what does it bring
If I ain't got you, ain't got you?
You don't know what it's like
To love somebody
The way I love you
I see your face again
I know my frame of mind
You ain't got to be so blind
And I'm blind, so, so, so blind
I'm a man
Can't you see what I am?
I live and I breathe for you
But what good does it do
If I ain't got you, ain't got you? Baby
You don't know what it's like
To love somebody
The way I love you, oh no, no
You don't know what it's like
To love somebody
The way I love you
You don't know what it's like
To love somebody
I had no idea Janis Joplin did a version! I'll have to check it out. The bee gee's is definatley my favorite version (I am not a Michael Bolton fan and never will be). This song always made me think of a man pining for a woman that either he can't have or she doesn't notice him. Always made me kind of wish that a guy I really liked was really pining for me, and I didn't know it and somewhow it would turn out that I'd find out and we'd live happily ever after. LOL!
o man i really love this song...he sings with such emotion and feeling Great Song
I agree to pholosop30... It's just a personal song recorded by the best singers in the music story! No one should sing but Bee Gees!!
This song was originally meant to be sung by Otis Redding. Imagine how that song would have been!
Check out the version by James Carr - very soulful
Check out the version by James Carr - very soulful
Grossly overused cheap colloquiums!
"You don't know what it's like, baby, to love somebody the way I love you…"
So is he insulting his "baby" by telling (her) that she doesn't know what it's like to love somebody?
Very idiotic.
But good melody. It takes a dumb ear to enjoy it.
You did not understand... He's saying that her don't love him!
You did not understand... He's saying that her don't love him!
You should check out the Flying Burrito Brothers version Gram Parsons singing will break you heart
Saw Barry sing on Later with Jools Holland.
I think he’s saying he loves her so much that no matter how much she loves him back, he loves her more. Great expression of love.
I grew up hating the Bee Gees during their disco period, and later discovered their older music. They may have sucked later in the 70s, but man! could they write some great pop songs before that time.
This song is so good. My favorite version is the Ray Lamontagne and Damien Rice live duet.
