[Verse 1]
I just want to be somebody's everything
You say I've seen too many movies, watched too much TV
Read too many fairy tales that I live and make believe
You say the kind of love I'm dreaming of does not exist
And there's no one like I'm searching for, well, I believe there is

[Chorus]
And I want someone to come alive when they lay eyes on me
Have a lust within their touch, a passion fire beyond belief
Reality and fantasy should be one in the same
And I want to be somebody's everything

[Verse 2]
I refuse to settle for something less than great
And if it takes a lifetime, then that's how long I'll wait
Cause all I want is everything, is that too much to ask?
Have romance, love and passion; find magic that will last

[Verse 3]
And I want someone to think they'll die if they can't be with me
I want to be their joy, their pride, their dreams
The very air they breathe
I want to wake up feeling loved and go to bed the same
Yes, I want to be somebody's everything, somebody's everything

[Chorus]

[Verse 4]
Someone to hold me close and tremble when the loving's done
Think it's heaven, call me angel, think I hung the moon and sun
Get misty eyed just knowing with a love song people sing
Yes, I want to be somebody's everything
And I'm gonna be somebody's everything, somebody's everything

[Verse 5]
I want to be, I'm gonna be somebody's everything
I want to be, I want to be somebody's everything
Somebody's everything, somebody's everything
Somebody's everything, somebody's everything
Yes I want to be, I'm gonna be somebody's everything
I want to be, I'm gonna be, I wanna be somebody's everything

Dolly Rebecca Parton (born January 19, 1946) is an American singer-songwriter, multi-instrumentalist, actress, author, and philanthropist, best known for her work in country music

Beginning her career as a child performer, Parton issued a few modestly successful singles from 1959 through the mid-1960s, showcasing her distinctive soprano voice. She came to greater prominence in 1967 as a featured performer on singer Porter Wagoner’s weekly television program; their first duet single, a cover of Tom Paxton’s “The Last Thing on My Mind”, was a top-ten hit on the country singles charts, and led to several successful albums before they ended their partnership in 1974. Moving towards mainstream pop music, Parton’s 1977 single “Here You Come Again” was a success on both the country and pop charts. A string of pop-country hits followed into the mid-1980s, the most successful being her 1981 hit 9 to 5" (from the film of the same name), and her 1983 duet with Kenny Rogers “Islands in the Stream”, both of which topped the U.S. pop and country singles charts. A pair of albums recorded with Linda Ronstadt and Emmylou Harris were among her later successes. In the late 1990s, Parton returned to classic country/bluegrass with a series of acclaimed recordings
