[English]

Rumors goin' all over town

Can't keep my name out their mouth these days, yeah, they say

I live too fast to settle down

Truth is, I just ain't about these games they all play

Wanna find

Somethin' stronger than the whiskey

And oh, I've tried

But every time I feel her kiss me

I keep comin' up empty, yeah

I just wanna love somebody

Who won't leave a hole in my heart

I just wanna love somebody

That don't want me fallin' apart

And I'll be lucky if I ever find

A somethin' more than just a crazy night

I just wanna love somebody

Who ain't hypnotized

By dollar signs and blindin' lights, like they tend to be, yeah

I need someone that I'd be proud

To take on back to my hometown

Honest eyes that just ain't gonna lead

To lonely nights

Even when she's up against me

I don't know why

It feels like there's nobody with me

And I'm still empty, yeah

I just wanna love somebody

Who won't leave a hole in my heart

I just wanna love somebody

That don't want me fallin' apart

And I'll be lucky if I ever find

A somethin' more than just a crazy night

I just wanna love somebody

...

I just wanna love somebody (whoa)

I just wanna love somebody

Who won't leave a hole in my heart

I just wanna love somebody

That don't want me fallin' apart

And I'll be lucky if I ever find

A somethin' more than just a crazy night

I just wanna love somebody

...
