If I Can Love Somebody
written by John Hiatt

The smiling ghost who left me here
Is laughing in the wind
And the tables are a-turning
All their backs on me again
But I'll get out alive
If I can just hold on 'til then
If I can love somebody
If I can love somebody
If I can love somebody like you

And Broken Hearted Boulevard
Has played so hard with me
The stranger falls in love
With every woman that he sees
But some day I will rise above
My struggle to be free
If I can love somebody
If I can love somebody
If I can love somebody like you

And like a ship out in the night
Well, I need that guiding light
Many oceans have I sailed
And some day I'll get it right
And like a never ending weed
I'm gonna live the dreams I seed
If I can love somebody
If I can love somebody
If I can love somebody like you
If I can love somebody
If I can love somebody
If I can love somebody like you
