Lyrics It Hurts to Love Somebody - Doug Sahm

It Hurts to Love Somebody

i could drag you from the ocean
i could pull you from the fire
and when you’re standing in the shadows
i could open up the sky
and i could give you my devotion
until the end of time
and you will never be forgotten with me by your side
and i don’t need this life
i just need
i’ve got nothing left to live for
got no reason yet to die
but when i’m standing in the gallows
i’ll be staring at the sky
cause no matter where they take me
death i will survive
and i will never be forgotten with you by my side
cause i don’t need this life
i just need
somebody to die for
somebody to cry for when i’m lonely
when i’m standing in the fire
i will look him in the eye
and i will let the devil know that
i was brave enough to die
and there’s no hell that he can show me
that’s deeper than my pride
cause i will never be forgotten
forever i’ll fight
And I don’t need this life
I just need…
Somebody to die for
Somebody to cry for
When I’m lonely
And I don’t need this life
I just need…
Somebody to die for
Somebody to cry for
When I’m lonely
Don’t go gentle into that good night
Rage on against the dying light
