Someone to Love

I'm just someone, only me
No use wonderin', I'm all I'll ever be
But if I've got one thing, I've got love
And I'm pushing for nothing, 'cos love is enough

They say it's good to have diamonds
They say it's good to have gold
They say it's best to live a long life
Before you're too old
Some things may be good for the body
To keep you from the cold
But love is the best thing for your soul

Sometimes meanings get mixed and don't get through
Sometimes the game's been fixed and the loser's you
But it's never the end, it all depends on the next step
And I tell you as a friend, I give you this tip

If there's no greed, nobody bleeds
If there's no prize, nobody cries
If there's no ladder, getting more doesn't matter
The fairer, the better we'll be
With no power there's no rivalry
There's no one around to fight you or me
And there's no one we'd rather be
Than someone to love, someone with someone to love

I have no wish for diamonds; I have no need for gold
In with a win within my skin and I don't mind getting old
I can cope with my existence and all that hippy stuff
If love is the essence, then love is enough

It's all so simple, take it as read
The more you give, the more that you get
If it's all too hard then it's all in your head
Start using your heart instead
'Cos to be fair as a means to an end
Be aware that it makes good sense
To be there in a life where you're someone to love
And someone with someone to love
