lyrics

Somebody’s laughing, somebody’s crying
Somebody’s dancing while somebody’s dying
Somebody’s losing somebody they’re loving today

I thought I was clever but I’m just a fool
I found out, baby, when I lost you
How many times have I watched it all slip away?

Hell I’ve been to England and to New Orleans
Y’all can't believe half the shit that I’ve seen
Sometimes I stick and stay, sometimes I gypsy fade

I don’t wanna think about it
No, I don’t wanna sing about it
Mais, it’s too late to turn back now

Some factions are fighting, some making peace
Leaves the rest of us living in the belly of the beast
I know y’all got to agree these are such strange days

No, I don’t wanna think about it
No, I don’t wanna sing about it
‘Cause it’s too late to turn back now

Once I was strong, now I’m weak
A few kind words is all that I seek
From someone who loves me and knows that I’m going away

Somebody
(Somebody, somebody)
Somebody
(Somebody, somebody)
Somebody’s losing somebody they’re loving today
Somebody
(Somebody, somebody)
Somebody
(Somebody, somebody)
Somebody’s losing somebody they’re loving today
How many times have I watched it all slip away?
I need somebody to love me even though they know I’m going away

His best known song - “Sweet Dreams" - is considered a cornerstone of the genre. ... more
