When Somebody Loves You Back

(album: Life Is A Song Worth Singing - 1978)

It's so good loving somebody
And somebody loves you back

To be loved and be loved in return
It's the only thing that my heart desires
Just appreciate the little things I do
Oh, you're the one who's got me inspired
Keep on lifting, lifting me higher

So good, good loving somebody
And somebody loves you back
It's so good needing somebody
And somebody needs you back

We can build a world of love, a life of joy
Make our goal each other's happiness
I will do for you anything that I can
Oh, everyday I wanna do a little more
Do a little more, just a little bit more

It's so good, good loving somebody
And somebody loves you back and that's a fact
It's so good wanting somebody
And somebody wants you back
Said it's so good

Oh ho, to be loved and be loved in return
It's the only thing that my heart desires
Just appreciate the little things I do
Oh, you're the one who's got me inspired
Keep on lifting, lifting me higher

So good loving somebody
And somebody loves you back and that's a fact
It's so good needing somebody
And somebody needs you back

Said now 70-30
Now 60-40
Talking 'bout a 50-50 love

Said it's so good loving somebody
And that somebody loves you back, yeah

Said now 70-30
Now 60-40
Talking 'bout a 50-50 love, yeah

It's so good, good loving somebody
And somebody loves you back, yeah
It's so good, good

I'm so glad that there's you
I've experienced over and over again when
I've given 80 percent and she's given 20 percent
Now she's giving 70 percent and I'm giving 30

But you just don't know how it feels to have somebody
That you can share your life
Somebody that you don't mind talking to
Somebody that you don't mind going down the middle of the road

I know a lot of guys today they wish they had somebody just like you
I don't know when the last time I told you
But girl, you make me so very happy
I think we've got something that a lot of people don't seem to have
Talking 'bout a 50-50 love, yeah
