Someone Like You

Only you could ever know
How hard it was for me to let you go
Hard to face all those nights
And suffer through all the fools' advice
Seems to me it's not so bad
To try for the kind of love that we had
Oh I need that romance
One that grows strong
When it's got no chance

Now you're gone away
And I'm left to carry on
Ain't nobody else gonna bear up to comparison
And if I can't have the real thing
Then I've got to find someone
Just like you

(I hope someone will come today)
Somebody like you
(Someone to take me all the way)
Someone like you
(Someone to take your place)
Somebody like you
(Someone to fill this empty space)

What you got it's what you need
There's pain in that but it's plain enough to see
I know I was satisfied
But nobody else came out of my side

Now you're gone away
And I'm left to carry on
Ain't nobody else gonna bear up to comparison
And if I can't have the real thing
Then I've got to find someone
Just like you

(I hope someone will come today)
Somebody like you
(Someone to take me all the way)
Somebody like you
(Someone to take your place)
Somebody like you
(Someone to fill this empty space)

Now you're gone away
And I'm left to carry on
Ain't nobody else gonna bear up to comparison
And if I can't have the real thing
Then I've got to find someone
Somebody like you

(I hope someone will come today)
Somebody like you
(Someone to take me all the way)
Somebody like you
(Someone to take your place)
Somebody like you
(Someone to fill this empty space)
