You Want Somebody Else

Donny Hathaway, Billy Griffin

[Verse 1]
I try to love ya, in every way
I try to show my loving for you every day
I try to love you like no other mortal man
I try to do the best that a man can

[Chorus]
And my love is still true
For only you
And although I want you for myself
You want somebody else
Oh, yes you do, baby

[Verse 2]
You used to hug me and squeeze me real tight
But now you don't even stay at home late at night
And every time I ask you for an explanation
You're always tryin' to change the conversation

[Chorus]
But my love is still true
For only you
And although, I want you for myself
Why do you do it to me?
You want somebody else
Oh yes you do, baby

[Bridge]
You told me that you wanted my respect
And girl, I'm trying to do my best
Your love I try to earn
But what did I get in return?
I'm trying to maintain my cool
But you know I'm still (Being a fool)

[Verse 3]
You used to hug me and squeeze me real tight
But now you don't even stay at home late at night
And every time I ask you for an explanation
You're always tryin' to change the conversation

[Chorus]
But my love is still true
For only you
And although, I want you for myself
Girl, you know
You want somebody else

[Outro]
Why you wanna do it to me?
You want somebody else
I try to love you in every way
You want somebody else
Tryin' to love you, child, every day
You want somebody else
I try to do the best that a man can
You want somebody else
I try to do everything like a normal mortal man
