Baby
I betcha that I could read your mind
And tell you everything you're going through
Baby, I cry to find a thousand reasons why
You're alone and acting so cold
Tell me how long you've been this way
Maybe I can open up your heart
See, I've been waiting all my life for someone just like you
And I know you've been waiting too
For someone to love you
All you need is someone who cares
(For someone to love you)
Someone who will always be there
All you need is to say is that you want me to be with you
Girl, I know you waited so long
For someone to love you
Baby, I wish I could be there
For every time you ever shed a tear
Baby, I hate to see a pretty girl like you
Goin' through the things that you do, yeah
Girl, I think you've gone for far too long
Without a good man to make you smile
Now how can I appeal to you and make you understand
That I'm here, what are you waiting for
Someone to love you
All you need is someone who cares
(For someone to love you)
Someone who will always be there
All you need is to say is that you want me to be with you
Girl, I know you waited so long
For someone to love you
Maybe you've been waiting for a man from all your fairy tales
Or maybe just a man from all your dreams
Try and think reality, enjoy the possibilities
'Cause girl, you now you've waited for so long
For someone to love you, you, you, you, you, yeah yeah yeah
(Someone to love you)
You waited, oh, so long
All you need is someone who cares
(All you need, all you need, baby)
Someone who will always be there
(In the middle of the night, in the middle of the night)
All you need is someone who cares
(I ain't tryna play no game with you, no no)
Someone who will always be there
([Incomprehensible], no no no no no)
(All you need)
All you need is someone to care
(Someone to love you, who really cares)
(All you need)
Someone who will always be there
(A man like, a man like me)
(All you need)
All you need is someone to care
(Someone, someone, someone like me)
(How was your day, baby)
(All you need)
Someone who will always be there
(Oh babe, love you)
I feel its about allowing oneself to love and be love (after going about life alone or unhappy) its a hard and scary thing to do. The song sympathizes but is persistent in overcoming the roadblock.
