Lyrics
- If you see a tear in someone’s eye
If you see that someone almost cry
You may wonder why they’re sad
Why they feel so bad
Just listen, I’ll tell you why
Chorus
Somebody’s lonely for someone who’s lonely, too
Somebody’s waiting for someone
To whisper, “I love you”
If your in doubt who that someone can be
Look in my eyes and you’ll see
Somebody’s lonely for someone who’s lonely, too
- In the papers ev’ry day you see
Where somebody needs some company
They just long for someone who
Feels the way they do
They really need sympathy
