Verse 1
There's a light
A certain kind of light
That never shone on me
I want my life to be
To live with you
To live with you
There's a way
Everybody says
To do each and every little thing
But what does it bring
If I ain't got you
Ain't got... baby
Chorus
You don't know what it's like
D A N.C.
Baby, you don't know what it's like
To love somebody
To love somebody
The way I love you

Verse 2
Mmm, in my brain
I see your face again
I know my frame of mind
You ain't got to be so blind
And I'm blind, so so so very blind
I'm a man, can't you see what I am
I live and I breathe for you
But what good does it do
If I ain't got you
Ain't got... baby
Chorus

Baby, you don't know what it's like
To love somebody
To love somebody

I... love you
Chorus

Baby, you don't know what it's like
To love somebody
To love somebody
The way I love you
E (A)
No-no-no-no-no-no
Outro
You don't know what it's like
D A N.C.
Baby, you don't know what it's like
To love somebody
To love somebody
The way I love you
