I been all over this country
I been half way around the world
I been traveling so doggone much
That I haven't got a steady girl
Somebody to love
Somebody to love
Somebody to call me turtledove
Somebody to love
Yes I guess I been lucky
I had me fortune and fame
But I would give up my roving days
Just to change some girlie's name
Somebody to love
Somebody to love
Somebody to call me turtledove
Somebody to love
I been hurting
Such a long, long time
I been searching
Where's that girl of mine?
Won't you hear me now
If there's somebody listening
Won't you answer my plea?
Won't you send me a good, good girl
To spend her life with me
Somebody to love
Somebody to love
Somebody to call me turtledove
Somebody to love
I been hurting
Such a long, long time
And I been searching
Where's that girl of mine?
Won't you hear me now
If there's somebody listening
Won't you answer my plea?
Won't you send me a good, good girl
To spend her life with me
Somebody to love
Somebody to love
Somebody to call me turtledove
Somebody to love
Somebody to love
Somebody to love
Somebody to call me turtledove
Somebody to love
Somebody to love
Somebody to love
I need someone to love
