Let Somebody Love Me - Chuck Jackson

Oh lord

Cold lonely streets and the unkind

People from behind their blinds

Peek out at me and all they see

Is a fool in the dark, alone in the park

Sitting here, with my heart in my hand

Trying hard to understand

Why am I here alone on the out looking in at the world of love?

Please, heaven above

Let somebody love me

For who am I, and where am I heading?

Without love I’m just hopelessly treading

Lost and apart, I’m chained to a heart I refuse to give

I was afraid to live

Silver and gold was my security

I traded and sold all that was good in me

All but a cry in my heart

Though I try, I can’t make it heard

Four precious words, «Let somebody love me»

Is it too much to ask?

Is it too large a task to send me someone who needs someone too?

She doesn’t have to be a beauty queen

Just someone true, you know what I mean

Someone I can depend on when all my dreams are gone

To lead me home

(Let somebody love me)

Heaven above, I need somebody to love me

(Let somebody love me)

Let somebody love me

(Let somebody love me)

Heaven above, I need someone to love

(Let somebody love me)

Let somebody love me

(Let somebody love me)

Oh lord up above, please let somebody love me
