Janis Joplin: To Love Somebody

Theres a light, certain kinda light,
Never ever, never shone on me, no, no.
Honey, I want, I want my whole life
To be lived with you, babe,
Thats what I want oh, was to be
Living and loving you.

Theres a way, oh everybody say
You can do anything, every thing yeah.
But what good, what good,
Honey, what good could it ever bring
Cause I aint got you with my love
And I cant find you babe, no I cant.

You dont know, you dont know what its like,
No you dont, honey no you dont know,
You dont know what its like
To love anybody.
Oh honey, I wanna talk about love
And trying to hold somebody
The way I love you babe,
And Ive been loving you babe.

In my brain, oh I can see your face again,
I know my frame of mind, yeah.
But nobody, nobody has to ever be so blind,
Honey, like I did, I know I was blind,
Honey, I tell you that I was, I was very, very blind.
Oh but Im just a girl,
Cant you just take a look at me and tell,
Tell that I live, honey I live and I breathe for you,
Dont you know I do!

But what good, what good,
Honey, what good could ever do
Cause I aint got you, thats all Ive ever wanted,
And I aint got you, babe, oh but Ive been looking round.
But you dont know, you dont know what its like,
No you dont, no, no, no, you dont know,
Honey, you dont know what its like
Oh to love anybody.
Oh honey I wanna talk about
Trying to hold somebody when youre lonely
The way I loved you, baby,
And I just want you to know I tried.

Oh I know that theres a way
Cause everybody came to me one time and said,
Honey, you can do anything,
Every little thing, and I think I can.
Oh, but what good, what good,
Honey, what awfully good can it ever, ever bring,
Cause I cant find you with my love,
And I cant find you babe, oh anywhere.

Oh, but you dont know,
You dont know what its like,
No you dont and you never ever, ever did.
You dont know, honey,
You dont know what its like
Oh to love anybody.
Oh honey I wanna talk about trying to hold you.

Oh baby, baby, baby, yeah,
But you dont know,
You dont know what its like,
And you never ever, ever did,
I said I tried to throw my love around you
And I tried to help you darling.
But you never ever, no you never ever,
No you never ever, no you never ever,
I know that you know that
No you never ever, ever, ever,
Oh let me throw my love,
Throw my love all around you, yeah.
