Somebody to Hold Me

Jonathan Richman

Well I've got a new thing goin' now
(Jonathan, what's happenin'?)
Well I've got a new thing goin' now
(Jonathan, what's happenin'?)

Well, it's sad like the autumn I've found
See an old part of me's not around
(Now, JoJo what brings the change we see?)
It's all that I've got somebody to hold me

She holds me, and it feels good
I've got somebody to hold me
She holds me better than I thought she would
I've got somebody to hold me
I still get sad, but not like before
I've got somebody to hold me
And when I want more holding I can ask for more

And sometimes
Sometimes I'm just plain uncomfortable
But, I'm not used to being treated so well
(Now JoJo what brings the change we see?)
It's all that I've got somebody to hold me

She holds me and it feels real good
I've got somebody to hold me
Well, she holds me and it's warm and all
I've got somebody to hold me
Well, still get sad but it ain't like before
I've got somebody to hold me
And when I want more holdin' I can ask for more

Sometimes I still can't believe it's my life
Sometimes I'm scared of having a wife
(Now JoJo what brings the change we see?)
Well, it's all that I've got somebody to hold me

And say, she holds me and it feels pretty good
Well, I've got somebody to hold me
Well, she holds me better than I thought she would
Well, I've got somebody to hold me
I still get sad but it ain't like before
I've got somebody to hold me
And when I want more holding I can ask for more

Sometimes it's sad, same way autumn can be
A lonely year saying goodbye to me
(Now JoJo what brings the change we see?)
It's all that I've got somebody to hold me

It's different since I've got somebody to hold me
It's different since I've got someone to hold me
