I've been all over this country
I've been half way 'round the world
I've been traveling so dog gone 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've been lucky
I've had me fortune and fame
But I would give up my rovin' ways
Just to change some girlie's name
Somebody to love
Somebody to love
Somebody to call me turtledove
Somebody to love
I've been hurtin'
Such a long, long time
I've been searchin'
Where's that girl of mine?
Won't you hear me now?
If there's somebody listenin'
Won't you answer my plea?
Won't you send me some good, good girl
Just to spend her life with me?
Somebody to love
Somebody to love
Somebody to call me turtledove
Somebody to love
I've been hurtin'
Such a long, long time
I've been searchin'
Where's that girl of mine
Won't you hear me now?
If there's somebody listenin'
Won't you answer my plea?
Won't you send me a good, good girl
Just 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
I need someone to love
Somebody to love
Somebody to love
Somebody to love
