Your mascara's runnin' and your hair is a mess And what have you spilled on your party dress Sittin in the kitchen all broken hearted Lookin' for comfort in an ice-cream carton But all you want,all you really want Is somebody to love,you want somebody Oh you've got to be strong It's not enough to want somebody Just cause the night is long You've got to be tough and hold out honey 'cause what you really want is somebody to love I've been to all of the places you go to And I've danced the tango with Casanova The wine and the roses are so continental But the champagne is flat and the tux is a rental All you want,all you really want [Chorus] Yeah you want somebody To tear the night apart Someone to love you back now honey That's a darn good start You've got to be tough and hold out honey 'cause all you want is somebody to love
