Lyrics
“Somebody To Love”
Can anybody find meSomebody to love?Ooh, each morning I get up I die a little
Can barely stand on my feet
Take a look at yourself in the mirror and cry
Take a look in the mirror and cry

But I just can’t get no relief, LordSomebody (Somebody)

I work ’til I ache my bones
At the end (At the end of the day) I take home (takes home)
My hard-earned pay all on my own
