You're a nobody till somebody loves you

You're nobody till somebody cares

You may be king, you may possess the world and its gold

But gold won't bring you happiness when you're growin' old

 

The world still is the same, you'll never change it

As sure as the stars shine above

You're nobody till somebody loves you

Find yourself somebody to love

 

<very brief instrumental>

 

You're a nobody till somebody loves you

You're nobody till somebody cares

You may be a king, you may possess the whole world and its gold

But gold won't bring you happiness when you're gettin' old

 

The world still is the same, you'll never change it

As sure as the stars shine above

You're nobody, nobody till somebody loves you

So find yourself somebody

 

<bridge>

Gotta get yourself somebody

 

Because you're nobody till somebody loves you

You're nobody till somebody cares

You may a king, you might possess the big fat world and its gold

But gold won't bring you happiness when you're growin' old

 

The world, the whole world's the same, you'll never change it   change it

As sure as the stars shine above

You're a nobody till somebody loves you

So find yourself somebody somebody to love
