at a diner down on broadway they make small talk

when she brings his eggs and fills his coffee cup

he jokes about his love life

tells her he's 'bout ready to give up

that's when she says

i've been there before

keep on lookin'

cause maybe what you're lookin for is...



chorus:

somebody in the next car

some body on the mornin train

somebody in the coffee shop

that you walk right by everyday

somebody that you look at but never really see

somewhere out there

there's somebody



across town in a crowded elevator

he can't forget the things that waitress said

he usually reads the paper

but to day he reads a strangers face instead

it's that blue eyed girl

from two floors up

maybe she's the one

maybe he could fall in love with



chorus:

somebody in the next car

somebody on the morning train

somebody in the coffee shop

that you walk by everyday

somebody that you look at but never really see

somewhere out there

there's somebody



now they laugh at the moment that it happened

a moment they both missed until that day

when he saw his future in his eyes

instead of another friendly face

and he wonders why

it took so long

when she was always there

at that diner waiting on



chorus:

somebody in the next car

somebody on the morning train

somebody in thecoffee shop

that you walk by every day

somebody that you look at but never really see

somewhere out there

there's somebody



yeah.....somewhere out there, there's somebody............
