38 Special - Somebody Like You

Shoulda kept my distance
Shoulda known what I be riskin
But nothin short of holding you would ever do

Darlin

If we could be together
I would wait for you forever
But how'm I gonna win
If you never lose
I could feel the pressure
I could see you were something special
I couldn't walk away from you if Id tried

Darlin

I wanna be near you
If only you'd feel like I do
I must've had it wrong, I should a known
Somebody like you could break my heart
Somebody like you could tear my world apart
Oh yeah
Somebody like you could keep me in the dark
Somebody like you could break my heart
Yea yeah

I knew that I was fallin
I could hear your heart beat callin
I was hopin you'd be mine before the night was thru

Darlin

I could keep on loving you
If there's a chance to somehow break thru
I must've had it wrong
I should a known

Somebody like you could break my heart
Somebody like you baby
Somebody like you I'm tellin ya
Somebody like you could break my heart
Yea yea yea

Guess I new right from the start
That you were a pretender
But it was you who held my heart
I got love I wanna send you
Yeah, are you ready to surrender
Oh yeah

Somebody like you could break my heart
Somebody like you could tear my world apart
Oh yeah
Somebody like you could keep my in the dark
Somebody like you baby
Somebody like you I'm tellin ya
Somebody like you could break my heart

38 Special Lyrics

album: "Strength In Numbers" (1986)

Somebody Like You
Like No Other Night
Last Time
Once In A Lifetime
Just A Little Love
Has There Ever Been A Good Goodbye
One In A Million
Heart's On Fire
Against The Night
Never Give An Inch
