Somebody to love
I been all over this country
Been half way round the world
I been travelin so dog gone much
That I havent got a steady girl.
Somebody to love
Somebody to love
Somebody to call me turtledove
Somebody to love.
Yes I guess I been lucky
I had me fortune and fame
But I would give up my rovin ways
Just to change some girlies name.
Somebody to love
Somebody to love
Somebody to call me turtledove
Somebody to love.
I been hurtin'
Such a long, long time
I been searchin'
Where's that girl of mine?
Won't you hear me now
If there's somebody listenin'
Won't you answer my plea?
Won't you send me some good, good girl
To spend her life with me.
Somebody to love
Somebody to love
Somebody to call me turtledove
Somebody to love.
I been hurtin'

To spend her life with me.

Somebody to love
