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)
