[English]

Can

Anybody find me

Somebody to love?

Ooh-ooh, ooh

...

Each morning I get up I die a little

Can barely stand on my feet

Take a look in the mirror and cry (and cry)

Lord, what you're doing to me

I have spent all my years in believing you

But I just can't get no relief, Lord

Somebody (somebody)

Ooh, somebody (somebody)

Can anybody find me

Somebody to love?

Yeah

I work hard (he works hard)

Every day of my life

I work 'til I ache my bones

At the end (at the end of the day)

I take home my hard-earned pay all on my own

I get down (down) on my knees (knees)

And I start to pray (praise the Lord)

'Til the tears run down from my eyes, Lord

Somebody (somebody)

Ooh, somebody (please)

Can anybody find me

Somebody to love?

...

(He works hard) every day (every day)

I try and I try and I try

But everybody want to put me down

They say I'm goin' crazy

They say I got a lot of water in my brain

No, I got no common sense

(He's got) I got nobody to believe

...

(Ooh, ooh, ooh, Lord)

Ooh, somebody

Ooh (somebody)

Anybody find me

Somebody to love

(Can anybody find me someone to love?)

Got no feel, I got no rhythm

I just keep losing my beat (you just keep losing and losing)

I'm okay, I'm alright (he's alright, he's alright)

I ain't gonna face no defeat (yeah, yeah)

I just gotta get out of this prison cell

Someday I'm gonna be free, Lord

...

Find me somebody to love

Find me somebody to love

Find me somebody to love

Find me somebody to love
