Lyrics
She tells me every secret; Her every fantasy
She bares her soul to me--I am her best friend...
But she doesn't know the way that I feel...
I'm locked outside the door
A friend that wants to be so much more...
CHORUS:
Someone to talk to--someone to understand
Someone to hold her hand, When life can be so cruel
Someone to talk to... a friend, but nothing more
But she's the one I'm yearning for, I guess I'm just a fool.
She tells me that her lover; Just broke her heart in two
She says that they are through--She starts to cry...
I reach out and hold her close to me;
How can she ever know; that though I'm here for her
I'm so alone?
PRE-CHORUS:
And I wonder if the day will ever come
When I become the answer to her dreams
But for now, I only seem to be
Someone to talk to
Just someone to talk to...
(chorus)
BRIDGE:
She'll never know the pain that I go through
I love her so--I tell it now to you
And in my dreams she's still the one for me...
INSTRUMENTAL VERSE
PRE CHORUS:
And now I know that day will never come
When I can hold and kiss her tenderly
It's plain to see that I will always be
Someone to talk to
Just someone to talk to
Can't she see that I don't want to be
Someone to talk to
Just someone to talk to...aaaooooo
Just someone to talk to
