Somebody's Love
Unveiling the Bittersweet Tale of Love's Unmet Expectations
Lyrics
I stood up for you when you married
I defended you when you got married
I thought you were one lucky guy
I believed you were fortunate
You had the world in your pocket
You had everything going well for you
She had that look of love in her eye
Your spouse had a loving expression in her eyes
You called me at one in the morning
You called me late at night
To tell me what you're going through
To share your difficulties
It's not workin' out like you wanted
Your relationship isn't progressing as expected
I'm not the one to be telling this to
I'm not the right person for you to confide in
Cause brother when you say she's not all that you dreamed of
When you claim she doesn't meet your expectations
I'll say you're dreaming too much
I'll say you have unrealistic expectations
Cause I know she's more than some damn fool deserves
Because I know she's more valuable than what a foolish person might realize
I know she's somebody's love, yes, I know she's somebody's love
I acknowledge she is loved by someone
I've watched her raisin' your children
I observed her nurturing your children
She was there when the going got tough
She stood by you during tough times
Just when she needed your loving
Exactly when she needed your love
You strung her along on just barely enough
You kept her hanging on with just enough
So brother, when you say she's not all that you dreamed of
So, when you assert she falls short of your dreams
I'll say you're dreaming too much
I'll say your dreams are too idealistic
Cause I know she's more than some damn fool deserves
Because I know she deserves more than a foolish person might understand
I know she's somebody's love
I'm aware she is loved by somebody
And if I had your luck
If I had your fortune
This time you'd be gone, she'd be mine
This time you would be left, and she would be mine
All of my friends would say
My friends would admire my luck
There goes that lucky guy
They would say I'm the fortunate one
Brother, when you say she's not all that you dreamed of
So, when you claim she doesn't meet your dreams
I'll say you're dreaming too much
I'll say you have unrealistic expectations
Cause I know she's more than some damn fool deserves
Because I know she's more valuable than what a foolish person might realize
I know she's somebody's love
I acknowledge she is loved by someone
Yes, I know she's somebody's love
Yes, I know she is loved by somebody
Oh, I know she's somebody's love
Oh, I know she is loved by somebody
