There's a light
A certain kind of light
That never shines on me
I want my life to be
Here with you
I wanna be with you

There's a way
I hear everybody say
Just to do everything that I can
But what good will it do
If I can't have you
If I can't have you

Baby, you don't know what it's like
No you don't know what it's like
You don't know what it's like
No you don't know what it's like

To love somebody
To love somebody
The way I love you

*Guitar solo*

I'm a man
Can't you see that's what I am
Every breath that I take I take from you
But what good will breathing do
If I can't have you
If I can't have you

Baby, you don't know what it's like
No you don't know what it's like
You don't know what it's like
No you don't know what it's like

*Musical break*

No you don't know what it's like
No you don't know what it's like
You don't know what it's like
No you don't know what it's like

To love somebody
To love somebody
The way I love you
The way I love you

*Musical break*

No you don't know what it's like
No you don't know what it's like
No you don't know what it's like
Ya just don't know what it's like

To love somebody
To love somebody
The way I love you
The way I love you
