Somebody to Hold Me lyrics
by Jonathan Richman
[Intro]
La la la la la la la
La la la la la la la la
La la la la la la la
[Verse 1]
Well, I've got a new thing goin' now
(Jonathan, what's happenin'?)
Well, I've got a new thing goin' now
(Jonathan, what's happenin'?)
Well, it's sad like the autumn, I've found
You see, an old part of me's not around
(Now, Jo-Jo, what brings the change we see?)
It's all that I've got somebody to hold me
[Chorus]
She holds me, it feels good
I got somebody to hold me
She holds me better than I thought she would
I got somebody to hold me
I still get sad, but not like before
I got somebody to hold me
And when I want more holding, I can ask for more
[Verse 2]
And sometimes, sometimes I'm just plain uncomfortable
Or I'm not used to being treated so well
(Now Jo-Jo, what brings this change we see?)
It's all that I've got somebody to hold me
[Chorus]
She holds me and it feels real good
I got somebody to hold me
Well, she holds me and it's warm and all
I got somebody to hold me
Well, I still get sad, but it ain't like before
I got somebody to hold me
And when I want more holding, I can ask for more
[Verse 3]
Sometimes I still can't believe it's my life
Sometimes I'm scared of having a wife
(Now Jo-Jo, what brings this change we see?)
Well, it's all that I've got somebody to hold me
[Chorus]
I say she holds me and it feels real good
Well, I've got somebody to hold me
Well, she holds me better than I thought she would
Well, I've got somebody to hold me
Still get sad, but it ain't like before
I got somebody to hold me
And when I want more holding, I can ask for more
[Verse 4]
Sometimes it's sad, same way autumn can be
A lonely year saying goodbye to me
(Now Jo-Jo, what brings this change we see?)
It's all that I've got somebody to hold me
[Outro]
It's different since I've got somebody to hold me
It's different since I've got someone to hold me
