It's so good lovin' somebody

And that somebody loves you back



To be loved and be loved in return

It's the only thing that my heart desires

Just appreciate the little things I do

Oh, you're the one who's got me inspired

Keep on liftin', liftin' me higher



So good, good lovin' somebody

And that somebody loves you back

It's so good needin' somebody

And that somebody needs you back



We can build a world of love, a life of joy

Make our goal each other's happiness

I will do for you anything that I can

Oh, everyday I wanna do a little more

Do a little more, just a little bit more



It's so good, good lovin' somebody

And that somebody loves you back and that's a fact

It's so good wantin' somebody

And that somebody wants you back



Said it's so good



Oh...ho...



To be loved and be loved in return

It's the only thing that my heart desires

Just appreciate the little things I do

Oh, you're the one who's got me inspired

Keep on liftin', liftin' me higher



So good lovin' somebody

And that somebody loves you back and that's a fact

It's so good needin' somebody

And that somebody needs you back



Said now 70/30

Now 60/40

Talkin' 'bout a 5-/50 love



Said it's so good lovin' somebody

And that somebody loves you back, yeah



Said now 70/30

Now 60/40

Talkin' 'bout a 5-/50 love, yeah



It's so good, good lovin' somebody

And that somebody loves you back, yeah

It's so good, good



I'm so glad that there's you

I've experienced over and over when

I've given 80% and she's given 20%

Now she's givin' 70% and I'm givin' 30

But you just don't know how it feels to have somebody

That you can share your life

Somebody that you don't mind talkin' to

Somebody that you don't mind goin' the middle of the road

I know a lot of guys today they wish they had somebody just like you

I don't know when the last time I told you

But girl, you make me so very happy

I think we've got something that a lot of people don't seem to have

Talkin' 'bout a 50/50 love, yeah
