Lyrics

Somebody Special

[Verse 1]

How can you say life's getting you down

Get yourself out go along with the crowd

You're all dressed up got nowhere to go

You feel left out cause nobody showed

Listen babe

[Pre-Chorus]

When you think you're the only one

Who can't find love in this world

Tell yourself there's another one

Who's waiting for you, somewhere

[Chorus]

Somebody special is thinking of you

Somebody special is dreaming of you

Somebody special is longing for you

Somebody special, special

[Verse 2]

Magazine dreams are easy stuff

But heaven knows they ain't good enough

Picture yourself from reel to reel

And get your hands on that driving wheel

And you know what

[Pre-Chorus]

When it's hard to satisfy

A simple simple fantasy

Somebody somewhere is on your side

Waiting for you, crying

[Chorus]

Somebody special, is looking for you

Somebody special, is searching for you

Somebody special, is waiting for you

Somebody special, somebody special

[Verse 3]

Maybe your heart's tormenting you

Why should it have any reason to

Wipe off that negativity

Put on some positivity

[Pre-Chorus]

And when you think you're the only one

Who can't find love in this world

Tell yourself there's another one

Who's waiting for you, somewhere

[Chorus]

Somebody special, is dreaming of you

Somebody special, is looking for you

Somebody special, is waiting for you

Somebody special, somebody special
