Lyrics: Everybody Loves Somebody
Everybody loves somebody sometime
Everybody falls in love somehow
Something in your kiss just told me
My sometime is nowEverybody finds somebody someplace
There’s no telling where love may appear
Something in my heart keeps saying
My someplace is hereIf I had it in my power
I’d arrange for every girl to have your charms
Then every minute, every hour
Every boy would find what I found in your armsEverybody loves somebody sometime
And although my dream was overdue
Your love made it well worth waiting
For someone like youIf I had it in my power
I’d arrange for every girl to have your charms
Then every minute, every hour
Every boy would find what I found in your armsEverybody loves somebody sometime
And although my dream was overdue
Your love made it well worth waiting
For someone like you
