Lyrics:

Bill Payne

Tell me somebody
What was it like when you saw your whole life go under?
Did you cry?
Was there someone there or were you on your own

Why can't two people
Leave well enough alone
Just being here is lonely
So why don't you just give me a chance to come into your life

Did you hear me when I told you I loved you
Forgetting what you might not know
Somebody's leavin' tonight
Somebody's leavin' tonight

So why don't you let me take you down to old mexico
Where you can dream, none so sweet as dream I have of holding you

Did you hear me when I told you I loved you
Forgetting what you might not know
I've tried so many ways just to tell you
But you left me here jus to hold my own
And I know that you been hurting, 'cause I been hurtin' too

Somebody's leavin' tonight
Somebody's leavin' tonight
