Lyrics

Somebody Told Me

[Intro]

Somebody told me

Somebody told me

Somebody told me

Something about you

[Verse 1]

I didn't believe it

I just couldn't believe it

I'm still reeling

'Cause I just can't take the blow

[Chorus]

Well there's laughter and love

And there's a lot of pain

I never wanna see your

Pretty face again

Well there's laughter and love

And there's a lot of pain

I never wanna see your

Pretty face again

[Verse 2]

I'm full of forgiveness

You're just twisted

I'm a silly little saint

With a halo of smiles

And it makes no difference

[Chorus]

Well there's laughter and love

And there's a lot of pain

I never wanna see your

Pretty face again

Well there's laughter and love

And there's a lot of pain

I never wanna see your

Pretty face again

[Post-Chorus]

Oh well, oh well, oh well, oh well

Oh well, oh well, oh well, oh well

Oh Well (oh Well!), oh well (oh Well!), oh well (oh Well!), oh well

[Bridge: Annie Lennox & David A. Stewart]

Somebody told me

Somebody told me

Somebody told me

Somebody told me

Somebody told me

Somebody told me

Something about you

[Verse 3: Annie Lennox & David A. Stewart]

I didn't believe it

I didn't believe it

I couldn't believe it

I didn't believe it

I'm still reeling

'Cause I just can't take the blow

[Chorus]

Well there's laughter and love

And there's a lot of pain

I never wanna see your

Pretty face again

Well there's laughter and love

And there's a lot of pain

I never wanna see your

Pretty face again

Well there's laughter and love

And there's a lot of pain

I never wanna see your

Pretty face again

Well there's laughter and love

And there's a lot of pain

I never wanna see your

Pretty face again

[Outro]

Oh well, oh well, oh well, oh well

Oh well, oh well, oh well, oh well

Oh well, oh well, oh well, oh well

Oh Well,oh  well, oh well (Oh Well! Yeah, yeah, yeah!)
