CHORUS
Lover please, please come back
Don't take a train comin' down the track
Don't, please don't, don't leave me
Don't leave me in misery
You would never hold me so near
You would never call me "Dear"
Dontcha know I'd die for you?
Now you're gone, that's what I'll do
CHORUS
All those stories, not too long
About a love that went all wrong
The girl left the boy, just as bad
Now she's gone, she's
Something About You
now
how can it be
that a love
carved out of caring
fashioned by fate
could suffer so hard
from the games
played once too often
but making mistakes
is a part
of life's imperfections
born of the years
is it so wrong
to be human after all
drawn into the stream
of undefined illusion
those diamond dreams
they can't disguise the truth
that there is something about you
baby so right
I wouldn't be without you
baby tonight
if ever our love
was concealed
no one can say that
we didn't feel
a million things
and a perfect dream of life
gone
fragile but free
we remain
tender together
if not so in love
and it's not so wrong
we're only human after all
these changing years
they add to your confusion
oh and you need to hear
the time that told the truth
you know there's something about you
baby so right
I wouldn't be without you
baby tonight
because there's something about you
baby so right
I couldn't live without you
baby tonight
(Counter Melody)
something about you
the way you are so right
I wouldn't be
without you here tonight
there's something about you
the way you are so right
I couldn't live
without you here tonight
