Tonight we'll play
another record
And pretend that love
is still in our hearts
But I notice the absence of affection
And I think it's slowly
tearing us apart
We learn to do the things
that aren't expected
We wear the face that they want to see
But seems you always
can find something better
To do than spend some of
your time with me
Take the time to love somebody
Take the time, baby, try to love me
Can't you see that
I'm the somebody
That needs your love so des
perately
We play our roles to perfection,
but left out all of the intimacy
And every time I reach out
and you say later
Seems you never have
enough time for me
Things would be different if I
thought there was another
Of course then I'd know
just how to commit
But I think our problem is we've
let go of each other
Caring about things that
we really don't need
Take the time to love somebody
Take the time, baby, try to love me
Can't you see that
I'm just somebody
That needed your love so
desperately?
Take the time to love somebody
Take the time, baby, try to love me
Can't you see that I'm somebody that needs
your love so desperately?
Things would be different if I
thought there was another
Cause then I'd know
just how to compete
But the plague of time has
drawn a little closer
And I fear we may never
pass this way again
So take the time to love somebody
Take the time, baby, try to love me
Can't you see that I'm the somebody that
needs your love so desperately
Take the time to love somebody
Take the time, baby, try to love me
Can 't you see that I'm just somebody
that needs your love so desperately?
Take the time to love somebody.
Take the time, baby, try to love me.
Can't you see that I'm just somebody...
you
