Love somebody, yes, I do
Love somebody, yes, I do
Love somebody, yes, I do
I love somebody but I won't say who

Handsome, say, he's six feet tall
And his picture's on my wall
Love to be his baby doll
If he kissed me I wouldn't mind at all

I love somebody, yes, I do
Love somebody, yes, I do
Love somebody, yes, I do
Love somebody but I won't say who

Don't know why she acts so shy,
She oughta know I wouldn't dream
of even hurtin' a fly
Hope she doesn't pass me by
'Cause if she did I'd die, I know I'd die

I love somebody, yes, I do
Love somebody, yes, I do
Love somebody, yes, I do
Love somebody but I won't say who

He's big and strong

Wouldja like to feel my muscle?

Bold and gay

I never once lost a tussle

At the moment he's not very far away

Why don'tcha say who, say already?

I'd want to marry him today

But you don't say who

That I cannot do

Happen to be me?

Possibility

Won'tcha tell me who ya love?

Love somebody

Tell me true

Yes, I do

Yes, you do

Love somebody

I do, too

And I do

Maybe me

Love somebody

I hope it's me

Love somebody but I won't say who

C'mon confess

Why don'tcha try and guess?

Do tell. Let's tell.

You promise not to breathe a word?

Doris, don't be absurd

Strictly entre-nous?

Oui, oui!! We two

Well

Confidentially

Between you and me

Confidentially

I love somebody

I've got news for you

Love somebody

I feel that way, too

Love somebody

Glad it's true

That somebody that I love is you
