The words fit into the music like this:

    need someone to be close to
    somebody cozy not somebody nosy
    help me see my whole day through
    F#5F#5
    someone to share the load
    A5A5
    somebody to walk the road I live on...live!(rhy.fig.1)

    won't you send me somebody
    now won't you send me somebody

    (rhy.fig.2)

    save for tomorrow share all your sorrow
    misery enjoys company(yes it does,yes it does)
