George Duke
Somebody
I sit alone, in a dark theater
Watching the people go by
Hand in hand, everybody but me

I stay behind
Watching the credits roll by
Roll, roll, roll right by me

I know I won't cry
Because there is somebody
Somebody, somebody waiting for me
Out in the rain, won't cry, not tonight
'Cause there is somebody waiting for me

Oh, yeah, won't cry

I take a walk
The streets are busy tonight
And I am searching for you
Waiting to brush your shoulder

And I'm alone
I watch the faces roll by
Roll, roll, Roll right by me

But I know I won't cry
Because there is somebody
Somebody, somebody waiting for me
Out in the rain, won't cry, not tonight
'Cause there is somebody waiting for me
How many words will go unspoken? Oh
'Til I hear you knocking upon my door
I need some talking the nights I spent heartbroken
But tonight I know: I won't cry no more

I lie awake
I left the porch light on
I hope it helps you to find your way

Outside I hear the thunder roll by
Roll, roll, roll right by me
But I know I won't cry

I know I won't cry
Because there is somebody
Somebody, somebody waiting for me
Out in the rain, won't cry, not tonight
No, 'cause there is somebody waiting for me
Not gonna cry tonight
Not gonna no, no, no, no
Oh, yeah, no, not gonna cry, not tonight
'Cause there is somebody waiting for me

I stay behind
Watching the credits roll by
Roll, roll, roll right by me
