Seventeen gariley baker
Was setting my dreams on fire
Back of the class I was sinking so fast
Drowning my own desire
I wrote poems and songs and letters
Asking her she'd be mine
We graduated that may till this very day
I'm still waiting on her reply
Is you can love somebody
You can love somebody
That's a natural fact
You can love somebody
But the hard part is
Finding somebody who will love you back yeah
Finding somebody who will love you back
Well the years have gone by and I realize
Nothing really much has changed
Still searching high and low for that single soul
Carrying a mutual flame
Well I had a few dear dear misses
Saying they could hear the music play
But I marched on believing just to find
I was leading another one man parade
You can love somebody
Love somebody
You can love somebody
That's a natural fact
You can love somebody
But the hard part is
Finding somebody who will love you back yeah
Finding somebody who will love you back
But ain't giving up giving up no
It means too much to me
Means too much to me
But it's gotta be right so right
And giving as well as the sea
Cause you can love somebody
Love somebody
You can love somebody
It's as simple as that
You can love somebody
But the hard part is
Finding somebody who will love you back yeah
Finding somebody who will love you back
