There ought to be somebody by my side
The band is better than the one last night
I've been known to blow money on a stranger's eye
To nurse my wounds and heal my pride

There ought to be somebody in my car
To drive me passed my wrecked up heart
Leave the past that's fading slow
And take her further than she wanna go

[Chorus:]
There ought to be something right with just being me
Letting go of what is out of my reach
I do what I can, live my life
There ought to be somebody by my side

There ought to be somebody by my side
This house is empty and it don't feel right
But I cannot hold back the hands of time
It looks like another wasted night

[Chorus:]
There ought to be something right with just being me
Letting go of what is out of my reach
I do what I can, live my life
There ought to be somebody by my side

If I could find someone
I know we would both reach out for a dream
I found a love I could never leave

[Chorus:]
There ought to be something right with just being me
Letting go of what is out of my reach
I do what I can, live my life
There ought to be somebody by my side
[repeat]
