Comin' home last night, I saw a figure
She looked a lot like you
In my mind, the image struck black silver
Only to fade to a misty blue

I'm just doing what I think is right
Living out my time and my life
I don't need nobody
I just want somebody

I prefer if somebody would you
In my mind the image set off pictures flying
Lonely boy had gone to play
Such a lonely song disguised in harmony

Just like a rainbow set into the sky
I'm just doin' what I think is right
Slippin' out my time and my life
Gather up myself to tell the story

How she turned my dreams to gold
Love came with the wind in a mystifying glory
She used to keep her from the cold
I'm just doing what I think is right

Living out my time and my life
I don't need nobody
I just want somebody
I'd prefer if somebody were you
