Love Somebody Lyrics

DORIS: Love somebody, yes, I do
Love somebody, yes, I do
Love somebody, yes, I do
I love somebody but I won't say who

Handsome face, six feet tall and his picture's on my wall
Love to be his baby doll
If he kissed me I

Wouldn't mind at all

BUDDY: I love somebody, yes, I do
Love somebody, yes, I do
Love somebody, yes, I do
Love somebody but I won't say who

Don't know why she acts so shy, she oughta know I wouldn't dream of even hurtin' a
Fly
Hope she doesn't pass me by 'cause if she did I'd die, I know I'd die

BOTH: I love somebody, yes, I do
Love somebody, yes, I do
BUDDY: Love somebody, yes, I do
BOTH: Love somebody but I won't say who

DORIS: He's big and strong
BUDDY Wouldja like to feel my muscle?
BRDORIS: Bold and gay
BRBUDDY: I never once lost a tussle
BRDORIS: At the moment he's not very far away
BRBUDDY: Why don'tcha say who's "they" already?
BRDORIS: I'd want to marry him today
BRBUDDY: But you don't say who
BRDORIS: That I cannot do
BRBUDDY: Happen to be me?
BRDORIS: Possibility
BR
BRBUDDY Won'tcha tell me who ya love?
BRDORIS: Love somebody
BRBUDDY: Tell me true
BRDORIS: Yes, I do
BRBUDDY: Yes, you do
BRDORIS: Love somebody
BRBUDDY: I do, too
BRDORIS: And I do
BRBUDDY: Maybe me
BRDORIS: Love somebody
BRBUDDY: I hope it's me
BRBOTH: Love somebody but I won't *say* who
BR
BR
BRBUDDY: C'mon confess
BRDORIS: Why don'tcha try and guess?
BRBOTH: Do tell. Let's tell
BRDORIS: You promise not to breathe a word?
BRBUDDY: Doris, don't be absurd
BRDORIS: Strictly entre-nous?
BRBUDDY: Oui, oui!! We two
BRDORIS: Well
BRBUDDY: Confidentially
BRDORIS: Between you and me
BRBOTH: Confidentially
BRDORIS: I love somebody
BRBUDDY: I've got news for you
BRDORIS: Love somebody
BRBUDDY: I feel that way, too
BRDORIS: Love somebody
BRBUDDY: Glad it's true
BRBOTH: That somebody that I love is you
