Somebody to Hold Me Songtext
von Jonathan Richman & The Modern Lovers

Well, I′ve got a new thing going now
(Jonathan, what's happening?)
Well, I′ve got a new thing going now
(Jonathan, what's happening?)
Well, it's sad like the autumn I found
You see, an old part of me′s not around
(Now Jojo, what brings this change we see?)

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

Sometimes I′m just plain uncomfortable
For I'm not used to being treated so well
(Now Jojo, what brings this change we see?)


It′s all that I've got somebody to hold me
She holds me and it feels real good
I got somebody to hold me
Well, she holds me, and it′s warm and all
I got somebody to hold me
Well, I still get sad, but it ain't like before
I got somebody to hold me
And when I want more holding, 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 this change we see?)

Well, it's all that I′ve got somebody to hold me
I say she holds me and it feels real good
Well, I got somebody to hold me
Well, she holds me better than I thought she would
Well, I got somebody to hold me
I still get sad, but it ain't like before
I 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
Lonely years saying goodbye to me
(Now Jojo, what brings this 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
