[Verse 1]
There's a light
A certain kind of light
That never shone on me
I want my life to be, lived with you
Lived with you
And there's a way, everybody says
To do each and every little thing
But what good does it mean
If I ain't got you, if ain't got you?
[Chorus]
'Cause you don't know what it's like
You don't know what it's like
To love somebody
To love somebody
The way I love you
[Verse 2]
In my brains
I see your face again
I know my frame of mind
You ain't got to be so blind
I'm blind, so very very blind
I'm a man
Can't you see what I am?
I live and breath for you
But what good does this do
If he ain't got you, if he ain't got you?
[Chorus]
'Cause you don't know what it's like, baby
You don't know what it's like
To love somebody
To love somebody
The way I love you
You don't know what it's like, baby
You don't know what it's like
To love somebody
To love somebody
The way I love you, I love you, I love you
[Bridge]
Ha
Ooh yeah
Ooh yeah
Oh baby
[Chorus]
You don't know what it's like
You never, never know what it's like
To love somebody
To love somebody
The way I love you, I love you, I love you, I love you
Yeah
You'll ever, never know what it's like, honey
There's a light
A certain kind of light
That never shone on me
I want my life to be, lived with you
Lived with you
And there's a way, everybody says
To do each and every little thing
But what good does it mean
If I ain't got you, if ain't got you?
[Chorus]
'Cause you don't know what it's like
You don't know what it's like
To love somebody
To love somebody
The way I love you
[Verse 2]
In my brains
I see your face again
I know my frame of mind
You ain't got to be so blind
I'm blind, so very very blind
I'm a man
Can't you see what I am?
I live and breath for you
But what good does this do
If he ain't got you, if he ain't got you?
[Chorus]
'Cause you don't know what it's like, baby
You don't know what it's like
To love somebody
To love somebody
The way I love you
You don't know what it's like, baby
You don't know what it's like
To love somebody
To love somebody
The way I love you, I love you, I love you
[Bridge]
Ha
Ooh yeah
Ooh yeah
Oh baby
[Chorus]
You don't know what it's like
You never, never know what it's like
To love somebody
To love somebody
The way I love you, I love you, I love you, I love you
Yeah
You'll ever, never know what it's like, honey
