If You Need Somebody Lyrics - Bonnie Raitt

1 I hate to see you bummin', but boy, I saw it comin'

2 That girl just wasn't meant for you

3 I see you goin' through 'em, and nothin' I can do

4 And I could kick myself for not tellin' you

5 The way I feel about you, held back so long

6 If you need somebody

7 To be the one to see you through

8 If you want somebody

9 Who knows you just the way I do

10 If you're tired of searchin', baby

11 And your heart's about to run aground

12 Only to get turn around

13 'Cause I've been waiting

14 Never could have guessed it, best friends

15 Since we were kids, but now I

16 Lose it every time that you're near

17 With every need dead end, it's gettin' harder to pretend

18 When I know all you need is standin' right here

19 The way I feel about you, held back so long

20 If you need somebody

21 To be the one to see you through

22 If you want somebody

23 Who knows you just the way I do

24 If you're tired of searchin', baby

25 And your heart's about to run aground

26 Only to get turn around

27 'Cause I've been waiting

28 (To understand you like I do)

29 And when you're all alone and your heart keeps saying

30 You just can't take it

31 Just take a look around and you just might find

32 I'm a chance worth takin'

33 The way I feel about you, a love so strong

34 If you need somebody

35 To be the one to see you through

36 If you want somebody

37 Who knows you just the way I do

38 If you're tired of searchin', baby

39 And your heart's about to run aground

40 Only to get turn around

41 'Cause I've been waiting
