I Wanna Dance With Somebody (Live) - Ben Rector

Huh, yeah, woo, hey yeah, huh Ooh yeah, uh huh, yeah I want to dance Clock strikes upon the hour And the sun begins to fade Still enough time to figure out How to chase my blues away I've done alright up 'til now It's the light of day that shows me how And when the night falls Loneliness calls Oh! I wanna dance with somebody I wanna feel the heat with somebody Yeah! I wanna dance with somebody With somebody who loves me I've been in love and lost my senses Spinning through the town Sooner or later the fever ends And I wind up feeling down I need a woman who'll take a chance On a love that burns hot enough to last So when the night falls My lonely heart calls Oh!

Some stupid picture, some vacation, someone I don't know And ten expert opinions on some stranger's post And then I know Much to my surprise From a face I haven't seen in a long, long time To say you're fine Over a couple pages Between the lines You were really saying Sometimes I just wonder what it would've been like If you were with me Don't worry your mind I'm not crying at night I just think of you sometimes Sometimes, yeah He's walking his dog out on Venice beach Said he came to Los Angeles to chase some dream "In '95," he said, "I left my girls behind And the time of second chances, it's been gone for a long time" I called a phone I rambled on again but After the tone What I really meant was Sometimes I just wonder what it would've been like If you were with me Don't worry your mind I'm not crying at night I just think of you sometimes Oh We say goodbye As if we're going places And you can try But you can't keep your heart from saying Sometimes I just wonder what it would've been like If you were with me Don't worry your mind I'm not crying at night I just think of you I still think of you I just think of you sometimes

I feel just like a sailboat Don't know where I'm headed But you can't make the wind blow From a sailboat I've seen the sun Felt the rain on my skin I've been lost and found But mostly I've been waiting Oh, I'm out in the waves And I'm hoping and praying Please let this wind blow me home Night after night There's an empty horizon My God, do I feel so alone But sometimes life And most times I feel just like a sailboat And I'm pretty sure I'm heard At least I know I'm speaking But I feel like a fool Cause I can't hear you listening But I'm not giving up, Oh, I'm gonna move on forward I'm gonna raise my sail God knows what I'm headed towards Oh I'm out in the waves And I'm hoping and praying Please let this wind blow me home And night after night There's an empty horizon My god do I feel so alone Sometimes life And most times I feel just like a sailboat Only change I see Lost or found at sea The only difference Is believing I'll make it in Oh I'm out in the waves And I'm hoping and praying Please let this wind blow me home And night after night There's an empty horizon My god do I feel so alone Sometimes life And most times I feel just like a sailboat
