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
