Lyrics

  1. 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

  1. 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
