Love Somebody Lyrics

Love somebody, no matter who
Love somebody, no matter who, no matter who

If it's a horse or a canary
If it's a dyke, if it's a fairy
If it's alive and needs your caring
Love somebody, don't matter who
Even someone straight will do

Well the sin of sins is pride
And an empty heart inside
And self-righteousness will send you where
Old Satan dare not go, down below

Jesus said, "Love one another
Ev'ry sister and brother"
Don't go posing on your steeple
Throwing stones at other people;
Take a momеnt out and try
To note the mote in your own еye

Miss Anita get behind us
We don't need the Citrus Gang to guide us
In the way we should go

'Cause we do love one another
As the Good Lord bade us do
Though it gets a little arduous loving you
Love somebody, no matter who
Love somebody, no matter who, no matter who

If it's the same sex or complementing
If it's an adult who's consenting
If it's alive and needs your caring
Love somebody, don't matter who
Even someone straight will do
