When Somebody Loves You Back (Re-Recorded) - Teddy Pendergrass

To be loved and be loved in return

It’s the only thing that my heart desires

Just appreciate the little things I do

Oh, you’re the one who’s got me inspired

Keep on liftin', liftin' me higher

So good, good lovin' somebody

When somebody loves you back

It’s so good needin' somebody

When somebody needs you back

We can build a world of love, a life of joy

Make our goal each other’s happiness

I will do for you anything that I can

Oh, everyday I wanna do a little more

Do a little more, just a little bit more

It’s so good lovin' somebody

When somebody loves you back and that’s a fact

It’s so good wantin' somebody

When somebody wants you back

Said it’s so good

So good lovin' somebody

When somebody loves you back and that’s a fact

It’s so good needin' somebody

When somebody needs you back

Said not 70−30

Not 60−40

Talkin' 'bout a 50−50 love

Said it’s so good lovin' somebody

And that somebody loves you back, yeah

Said now 70−30

Now 60−40

Talkin' 'bout a 50−50 love, yeah

It’s so good, good lovin' somebody

When somebody loves you back, yeah

It’s so good, good

I’m so glad that there’s you

I’ve experienced over and over again when

I’ve given 80 percent and she’s given 20 percent

Now she’s givin' 70 percent and I’m givin' 30

But you just don’t know how it feels to have somebody

That you can share your whole life

Somebody that you don’t mind talkin' to

Somebody that you don’t mind goin' down the middle of the road

I know a lot of guys today they wish they had somebody just like you

I don’t know when the last time I told you

But girl, you make me so very happy

I think we’ve got something that a lot of people don’t seem to have

Talkin' 'bout a 50−50 love, yeah
