Someone To Lay Down Beside Me

There's somebody waiting

Alone in the street

For someone to walk up and greet

Here you are, all alone in the city

Where's the love that you took to your side?

Lonely faces will stare through your eyes

In the night

And they'll say

"Woman sweet woman, please

Come home with me"

You're shining and willing and free

But your love is a common occurrence

Not like love that I feel in my heart

Still you know that maybe what I need

Is someone to lay down beside me

And even though it's not real

Just someone to lay down beside me

You're the story of my life

(Ah)

(La-la-la, la-la-la, la-la-la, la-la-la, la, la)

(La-la-la, la-la-la, la-la-la, la-la-la, la, la)

La-la-la-la, la-la, la

(La-la-la, la-la-la, la-la-la, la-la-la, la, la)

La-la-la-la, la-la-la, la-la-la-la, la, la

Someone to lay down beside me

And even though it's not real

Just someone to lay down beside me

You're the story of my life

The morning is breaking

The street lights are off

The sun will soon share all the cost

(Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah)

Of a world that can be sort of heartless

(Ah-ah-ah-ah)

Not like love that I feel in my heart

(Ah-ah-ah-ah)

Still, you know that may be all you'll get

Is someone to lay down beside you

And even though it's not real

Just someone to lay down beside you

You just can't ask for more
