To Love Somebody

Nina Simone To Love Somebody Lyrics
1.To Love Somebody

(1967) robin gibb, barry gibb

There' a light
A certain kind of light
I want my whole life to be
To live it with you
Live it with you

There's a way
Everybody says
Do each and every little thing
What good does it bring
If i ain't got you if i ain't got you
I ain't got you i ain't got you

You don't know
What it's like
Baby you don't
What it's like
To love somebody
To love somebody
The way i love you

In my brain
See your face again
I know my frame of mind
You ain't got to be so blind
And i'm blind so blind

I'm a woman
Can't you see what i am
I live and i breathe for you
What good does it do
If i ain't got you if i ain't got you
I ain't got you i ain't got you

Say you don't know
What is like
Baby you don't know
To love somebody
To love somebody
The way i love you

Oh you don't know
What is like
Baby you don't know
To love somebody
To love somebody
The way i love you


2.I Can't See Nobody

(1967) robin gibb, barry gibb

I walk the lonely streets; i watch the people passing by.
I used to smile and say hello. guess i was just a happy guy.
Then you happened,girl, this feeling that posessses me.
I just can't move myself. i guess it all just had to be.

(chorus)
I can't see nobody...no, i can't see nobody.
Mine eyes can only look at you...you.

I used to have a brain; i used to think of many things.
I watched the falling rain and listened to the sweet birds sing.
Don't ask me why, little girl. i love you and that's all i can
say.
You're ev'ry ,ev'ry breath i take.you are my nights; my night
and day.

(chorus...)

Every single word you hear...is coming from this heart of mine.
I never felt like this before...a love like yours so young and
fine.
And now as i try to forget you...it doesn't work out any way.
I loved you such a long time ago...but in my eyes you'll always
be.
Every single word you hear...is coming from this heart of mine.
I loved you such a long time ago...don't know why...
And i don't know why...baby...

(chorus...)
(chorus...)


3.Suzanne

Leonard cohen

Suzanne takes you down to her place near the river
You can hear the boats go by
You can spend the night beside her
And you know that she's half crazy
But that's why you want to be there
And she feeds you tea and oranges
That come all the way from china
And just when you mean to tell her
That you have no love to give her
Then she gets you on her wavelength
And she lets the river answer
That you've always been her lover
And you want to travel with her
And you want to travel blind
And you know that she will trust you
For you've touched her perfect body with your mind.

And jesus was a sailor
When he walked upon the water
And he spent a long time watching
From his lonely wooden tower
And when he knew for certain
Only drowning men could see him
He said 'all men will be sailors then
Until the sea shall free them'
But he himself was broken
Long before the sky would open
Forsaken, almost human
He sank beneath your wisdom like a stone
And you want to travel with him
And you want to travel blind
And you think maybe you'll trust him
For he's touched your perfect body with his mind.

Now suzanne takes your hand
And she leads you to the river
She is wearing rags and feathers
From salvation army counters
And the sun pours down like honey
On our lady of the harbour
And she shows you where to look
Among the garbage and the flowers
There are heroes in the seaweed
There are children in the morning
They are leaning out for love
And they will lean that way forever
While suzanne holds the mirror
And you want to travel with her
And you want to travel blind
And you know that you can trust her
For she's touched your perfect body with her mind.


4.Turn! Turn! Turn!

Pete seeger

To everything, turn, turn, turn
There is a season, turn, turn, turn
And a time for every purpose under heaven

A time to be born, a time to die
A time to plant, a time to reap
A time to kill, a time to heal
A time to laugh, a time to weep

A time to build up, a time to break down
A time to dance, a time to mourn
A time to cast away stones
A time to gather stones together

A time of love, a time of hate
A time of war, a time of peace
A time you may embrace
A time to refrain from embracing

A time to gain, a time to lose
A time to rend, a time to sew
A time of love, a time of hate
A time of peace, i swear it's not too late

Original source

To every thing there is a season, and a time
To every purpose under the heaven:

A time to be born, and a time to die; a time
To plant, and a time to pluck up that which is
Planted;

A time to kill, and a time to heal; a time to
Break down, and a time to build up;

A time to weep, and a time to laugh; a time
To mourn, and a time to dance;

A time to cast away stones, and a time to
Gather stones together; a time to embrace, and a
Time to refrain from embracing;

A time to get, and a time to lose; a time to
Keep, and a time to cast away;

A time to rend, and a time to sew; a time to
Keep silence, and a time to speak;

A time to love, and a time to hate; a time of
War, and a time of peace.

7.I Shall Be Released

Bob dylan

They say everything can be replaced
Yet every distance is not near
So i remember every face
Of every man who put me here

I see the light come shining
From the west unto the east
Any day now any day now
I shall be released

They say every man needs protection
They say every man must fall
Yet i swear i see my reflection
Some place too high above this wall

Now yonder standing me in this lonely crowd
A man who swears he's not to blame
All day long i hear his voice shouting so loud
Crying out that he was framed

I see the light come shining
From the west unto the east
Any day now any day now
I shall be released


8.Just Like Tom Thumb's Blues

Bob dylan

When you're lost in the rain in juarez
And it's easter time too
And your gravity fails
And negativity don't pull you through
Don't put on any airs
When you're down on rue morgue avenue
They got some hungry women there
And they really make a mess out of you

Now if you see saint annie
Please tell her thanks a lot
I cannot move
My fingers are all in a knot
I don't have the strength
To get up and take another shot
And my best friend my doctor
Won't even say what it is i have got

Sweet melinda
The peasants call her the goddess of gloom
She speaks good english
And she invites you up into her room
And you're so kind
And careful not to go to her too soon
And she takes your voice
And leaves you howling at the moon

Up on housing project hill
It's either fortune or fame
You must pick one or the other
Though neither of them
Are to be what they claim
If you're looking to get silly
You better go back from where you came
Because the cops don't need you
And man they expect the same

Now all the authorities
They just stand around and boast
Hew they blackmailed the sergeant at arms
Into leaving his post
And picking up angel who
Just arrived here from the coast
Who looked so fine at first
But left looking like a ghost

I started out on burgundy
But soon hit the harder stuff
Everybody said they'd stand behind me
When the game got rough
But the joke was on me
There was nobody even there to bluff
I'm going back to new york city
I do believe i've had enough


9.Times They Are A Changing

(1963) bob dylan

Come gather 'round people
Wherever you roam
And admit that the waters
Around you have grown
And accept it that soon
You'll be drenched to the bone.
If your time to you
Is worth savin'
Then you better start swimmin'
Or you'll sink like a stone
For the times they are a-changin'.

Come writers and critics
Who prophesize with your pen
And keep your eyes wide
The chance won't come again
And don't speak too soon
For the wheel's still in spin
And there's no tellin' who
That it's namin'.
For the loser now
Will be later to win
For the times they are a-changin'.

Come senators, congressmen
Please heed the call
Don't stand in the doorway
Don't block up the hall
For he that gets hurt
Will be he who has stalled
There's a battle outside
And it is ragin'.
It'll soon shake your windows
And rattle your walls
For the times they are a-changin'.

Come mothers and fathers
Throughout the land
And don't criticize
What you can't understand
Your sons and your daughters
Are beyond your command
Your old road is
Rapidly agin'.
Please get out of the new one
If you can't lend your hand
For the times they are a-changin'.

The line it is drawn
The curse it is cast
The slow one now
Will later be fast
As the present now
Will later be past
The order is
Rapidly fadin'.
And the first one now
Will later be last
For the times they are a-changin'.
