I've been hurt in the game, just the same I can see how it could be Even though I should know When the joke's being played on me I can't see lovin' nobody I've been mistaken so many times I just can't trust myself, but still I believe it You need somebody to love Need somebody to love (I need somebody to love) Even so, here I am, all my plans Are in pieces at your feet Let 'em fall, take it all It'll make your love complete You say that you're gonna love me I've been mistaken so many times I just can't trust myself, but still I'm gonna trust you I need somebody to love Need somebody to love (I need somebody to love)
