Somebody (Gold Edition Bonus Track)

(album: Bettie James - 2020)

Sooner or later gonna need somebody
To be there hold you when there ain't nobody
At three in the morning when the drinks are running out (Running out)
I can be somebody
Sooner or later gonna need somebody
To be there to hold you when there ain't nobody
At three in the morning when the drinks are running out
I can be somebody

I know you left the bar breaking hearts
By how cautious you are, you've gone too far
You got one hell of a past and I don't care
To me that old is dead 'cause I'm right here

Bottle for bottle, tryna drown all your sorrows, yeah
But them bottles are hollow
And the only way to heal is to find you something real
Yeah, yeah, yeah

Sooner or later gonna need somebody
To be there hold you when there ain't nobody
At three in the morning when the drinks are running out (Running out)
I can be somebody
I know you love turning up, oh baby
But you really wanna fall in love, I know
You won't find none of that in your cup
No, baby, no, I can be somebody

Don't wanna rush you, girl, but you deserve
Someone that loves you, girl, and knows your worth
Bet I could be that guy to change your life
Just let me light that fire and stay a while

We're going bottle for bottle
Like we ain't stressing tomorrow
But when them bottles are hollow
Just know the only way to heal
Is to give you something real, yeah, yeah

Sooner or later gonna need somebody
To be there to hold you when there ain't nobody
At three in the morning when the drinks are running out (Drinks are running out)
I can be somebody
I know you love turning up, oh baby
But you really wanna fall in love, I know
You won't find none of that in your cup
Oh baby, no, I can somebody

Okay, I see you like to party with your girls on the Friday night
And I can see that cup is kinda empty, melted down with ice
We done heard them say it's last call for alcohol
Now you headed home alone and that ain't something that you like
You would rather wake up in the morning with someone beside you
You don't wanna take the chance 'cause you done be lied to
I can understand why you're hurting from your past
But don't look at me like that 'cause that ain't even something I do

Sooner or later gonna need somebody
To be there to hold you when there ain't nobody
At three in the morning when the drinks are running out (Running out)
I can be somebody
I know you love turning up, oh baby
But you really wanna fall in love, I know
You won't find none of that in your cup
No, baby, no, I can somebody
(If you wanna be, I can be somebody)
