Reaching Out for Someone Songtext
von Dan Penn

Reachin′ out (Reachin' out) for someone (for someone)
Reachin′ out (Reachin' out) for that someone
I'm reachin′ out (Reachin′ out) for someone
That special someone (For someone)

I don't want a part-time lover
That only wants to rock my soul
All I want to do is discover
That one love that never grows old
I′m tired of bein' a playboy
I want to throw away my little black book
I hope it′s not too late to find somebody
Who likes to sew and cook

That's why I′m
Reachin' out (Reachin' out) for someone (for someone)
Reachin′ out (Reachin′ out) yes, for someone
I'm reachin′ out, reachin' out for someone
That special someone (Whoa someone)


I′ve always been the life of the party
Lots of wine, women and song
But suddenly I feel so downhearted
And for the first time I feel all alone
The wine don't taste too sweet now
All my women can just go to the moon
And I don′t like the song I've been singin'
Maybe true love can change that tune

That′s why I′m
Reachin' out (Reachin′ out) for someone (for someone)
I'm reachin′ out (Reachin' out) yes, I am for someone
I′m reachin' out, reachin' out, reachin′ out for someone
That special someone good to me (Whoa someone)

(Reachin′ out for someone) Oh, yes, I am
(Reachin' out for someone) Help me, somebody
(Reachin′ out for someone) Don't want no part-time love
(Reachin′ out for someone) Just a lot of true
(Reachin' out for someone) Love
