E                                A         B
Your mascara's running and your hair is a mess,
E                                   A     B
And champagne gets spilled on your party dress,
E                            A       B
Sitting in the kitchen all broken hearted,
E                          A           B
Looking for comfort in an ice cream carton,
C#m      A     E              F#
All you want  all you really want,

                B   E

Oh you've got to be strong it's not enough,
     A       B                    E        A
To want somebody just cause the night is long,
               B        E
You gotta be tough and hold out honey,
A                      B
Cause what you really want is,
              E  A  B  E  A  B
Somebody to love,

I've been to all of the places you gotta,
I've danced the tango with Casanova,
The wine and rose are so continental,
But the champagne's flat and the tux is a rental,
All you want  All you really want,

                B   E
Is somebody to love,
     A        B
You want somebody,
           E           A               B    E
Oh you've got to be strong it's not enough,
     A       B                    E        A
To want somebody just cause the night is long,
               B        E
You gotta be tough and hold out honey,
A                      B
Cause what you really want is,
              E  B  A  B  E  A  B  E
Somebody to love,

A              B        E
You gotta be tough and hold out honey,
A                      B                    E
Cause what you really want is somebody to love,
