Lyrics

Not Somebody To Love
(And Then I Met You)

George Goodridge
(c) words and music

INTRO VERSE
Well the color blue it suits me well,
So does the evening sky,
And every woman that I ever won,
It seemed I had to buy,
When told me what they wanted,
And I'd give them what I've got,
And it's usually quite expensive,
But hopefully it's not,

VERSE
So I don't envy lovers,
When I see them on the street,
Guess I never wanted anyone,
That ever wanted me,
Still I got my good time buddies,
The only ones that I believe,
It's all I know I told you so ,
Don't expect too much from me,

CHORUS
But I need somebody, just somebody,
Not somebody to love,
I need ruby lips and those slender hips,
The things my dreams are made of,
And it's always entertaining,
When they say I'm number one,
Though I tried my best, still I must confess,
I did it just for fun,
And then I met You,

And that changed everything,

VERSE
I may walk alone but I don't mind that,
Seems somehow I survive,
And even through my darkest nights,
I never learned how to cry,
Though I won't give up this life of vice,
Some men are stronger than I,
Still there's something I've been searching for,
That I can't get off my mind,


CHORUS REPEAT

VERSE
Well you can take me to the airport,
And you can make me miss my plane,
And you can cry a river if you like,
And I'll swear I'm not to blame,
Seems they always wanted something else,
But they never could explain,
I'm out of time, you're out of line,
I just can't play the game,

CHORUS REPEAT omit last line
And that changed everything.
