Lyrics I Need Somebody - Patti Austin

I've been seeing things in a different light
I've been wondering why things ain't going right
Everywhere I go I see such pain and grief
I've been wondering where I could find relief

And I'm thinking that you might the one
Thinking of the good things that we could become

'Cause I need somebody
To let me believe
Open the doors to my heart and set me free
I need somebody
Just be my friend
And if you're that someone
You can walk right on in

I keep feeling sorry 'bout the life I lead
I keep searching around trying to fill my needs
Everywhere I look I see an empty space
But when I look at you, boy, I see a loving face

So I'm thinking that I might find it here
Thinking you could take away the sadness and the tears

'Cause I need somebody
To let me believe
Open the doors to my heart and set me free
I need somebody
Just be my friend
And if you're that someone
You can walk right on in

'Cause I need somebody
To let me believe
Open the doors to my heart and set me free
I need somebody
Just be my friend
And if you're that someone
You can walk right on in
