Lyrics

When the (F#m)truth is found

(Esus)to be

lies,

and all the joy

with (Esus)in you

dies, don’t you (A)want some (E)bod y to love?

(B)Don’t you (A)need some (E)bod y to love?

(B)Would n’t you (A)love some (E)bod y to love?

(B)You bet ter find some (B)bod y to love.

When the gar den’s flow ers,

ba by, are

dead, yes, and your mind, your mind

is so (F#m)full of red,

(B)don’t you (A)want some (E)bod y to love?

(B)Don’t you (A)need some (E)bod y to love?

(B)Would n’t you (A)love some (E)bod y to love?

(B)You bet ter find some (B)bod y to love.

Your eyes, I say your eyes may look like his.

Yeah, but (F#m)in your head, ba by, I’m a fraid you don’t know (F#m)where it is.

(B)Don’t you (A)want some (E)bod y to love?

(B)Don’t you (A)need some (E)bod y to love?

(B)Would n’t you (A)love some (E)bod y to love?

(B)You bet ter find some (B)bod y to love.

Tears are run ning,

they’re all run ning down your breast,

and (F#m)your friends, ba by,

they (E)treat you (F#m)like a guest.

Don’t you (A)want some (E)bod y to love?

Don’t you (A)need some (E)bod y to love?

Would n’t you (A)love some (E)bod y to love?

You bet ter find some (B)bod y to love.
