I want to love somebody

I hear you need somebody to love

Oh I want to love somebody

I hear you're looking

for somebody to love



'Cause you need to be back

in the arms of a good friend

and I need to be back

in the arms of a girlfriend



I didn't know nobody

and then I saw you coming my way

Oh I didn't know nobody

and then I saw you coming my way



Don't you need to be back

in the arms of a good friend?

Oh 'cause honey believe me

I'd sure love to call you

my girlfriend

[solo]



Don't you need to be back

in the arms of a good friend?

Oh 'cause honey believe me

I'd sure love to call you

my girlfriend



'Cause you

got a good thing going baby

You only need somebody to love

Oh you got a good thing going

You're only looking

for someone to love

'Cause you need to get back

in the arms of a good friend



And I'm never gonna set you free

No I'm never gonna set you free
