It's hard to keep a secret in a small town
Everybody's business, ah it gets around
Now I can't hide this lonely heart - everybody knows
It's the kind of thing that happens when your feelings show

And you always here someone sayin'
Oh that you gotta be
In love with somebody
Or get stuck with being free - Oh

I guess - I - wanna be Somebody's Lover tonight
That's - why - I - I've gotta get somebody into my life

You finally get a hold on happiness and then it disappears
There's a voice that tries to warn you - oh but you never hear
So once again you say it - 'I guess that's how it goes'
Why I keep on looking I'll just never know

'Cause you always hear someone sayin'
Oh that you oughta be
In love with somebody
'Cause your heart can't run on empty - Oh

I guess - I - wanna be Somebody's Lover tonight (ooh ooh ooh)
Oh that's - why - I - I've gotta get somebody into my life - Oh

If I ever fall in love again, I'm gonna play it cool
I just don't wanna end up being someone's fool

I - I - I - i... wanna be Somebody's Lover tonight - whoa whoa whoa
(That's) why - I - Oh I - I've gotta get somebody into my life
I wanna be

Somebody's Lover tonight - I wish I can be
Somebody's Lover tonight - Yeah
Somebody's Lover tonight - I've gotta get somebody into my life
Somebody's Lover tonight - Oh yeah
Somebody's Lover tonight - oooh
Somebody's Lover tonight - I've gotta get somebody into my life
Somebody's Lover tonight - Ya know I wanna  be
Somebody's Lover tonight
