Hm, there’s a light,

to do each and ev ’ry (F#)lit tle thing.

But what does it bring

if I ain’t got (C#)you,

if I ain’t got (B)you?

Ba by, (F#)you don’t know what it’s like.

Ba by, (B)you don’t know what it’s like

to love some (C#)bod y, to love some (B)bod y the way I (F#)love you.

In my brain,

I see your face a gain

and I know my state of mind.

You ain’t got ta be so (F#)blind,

and I’m (C#)blind,

Well, I’m a (F#)man.

Can’t you see what I am?

And I live and breathe for (F#)you.

Oh, but what does it do

Hey, hey,

To love some (E)bod y,
