Somebody Groovy Lyrics

I need somebody groovy
Someone who's able to move me, yeah. (yeah)
They gotta move me like they should
And when I find somebody, yeah, I'm gonna treat em good
(No) Don't need no imitations!
(No) Can't use my imagination, no! (Yeah...yeah)
They gotta move me like they should
And when I find somebody, yeah, I'm gonna treat em good

Oh, please, please believe me;
I need someone to relieve me
Yeah, (yeah, yeah) they gotta move me like they should
And when I find somebody, yeah, I'm gonna treat em good

I need somebody groovy
Someone who really can move me, yeah. (yeah)
Yeah, they gotta move me like they should
And when I find somebody, yeah, I'm gonna treat em good
And when I find somebody, yeah, I'm gonna treat em good

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
