There's a light
A certain kind of light
That never shone on me
I want my life to lived with you
Lived with you
There's a way everybody say
To do each and every little thing
But what does it bring
If I ain't got you, ain't got?

You don't know what it's like, baby
You don't know what it's like

To love somebody
To love somebody
The way I love you

In my brain
I see your face again
I know my frame of mind
You ain't got to be so blind
And I'm blind, so very blind
I'm a man, can't you see
What I am
I live and I breathe for you
But what good does it do
If I ain't got you, ain't got?

You don't know what it's like, baby
You don't know what it's like

To love somebody
To love somebody
The way I love you

You don't know what it's like, baby
You don't know what it's like

To love somebody
To love somebody
The way I love you

You don't know what it's like, baby
You don't know what it's like (you don't know what it's like)

To love somebody

    General Comment:This song was originally meant to be sung by Otis Redding. Imagine how that song would have been!

    General Comment:I grew up hating the Bee Gees during their disco period, and later discovered their older music. They may have sucked later in the 70s, but man! could they write some great pop songs before that time.

    General Comment:I had no idea Janis Joplin did a version! I'll have to check it out. The bee gee's is definatley my favorite version (I am not a Michael Bolton fan and never will be). This song always made me think of a man pining for a woman that either he can't have or she doesn't notice him. Always made me kind of wish that a guy I really liked was really pining for me, and I didn't know it and somewhow it would turn out that I'd find out and we'd live happily ever after. LOL!

    General Comment:No offense to Bee Gees fans, but the Billy Corgan version of this song is much better.
