Love Somebody
Doris Day and Buddy Clark
Written by Joan Whitney and Alex Kramer
Peaked at # 1 in 1948
DORIS: Love somebody, yes, I do
Love somebody, yes, I do
Love somebody, yes, I do
I love somebody but I won't say who
Handsome face, six feet tall and his picture's on my wall
Love to be his baby doll
If he kissed me I
wouldn't mind at all
BUDDY: I love somebody, yes, I do
Love somebody, yes, I do
Love somebody, yes, I do
Love somebody but I won't say who
Don't know why she acts so shy, she oughta know I wouldn't dream of even hurtin' a
fly
Hope she doesn't pass me by 'cause if she did I'd die, I know I'd die
BOTH: I love somebody, yes, I do
Love somebody, yes, I do
BUDDY: Love somebody, yes, I do
BOTH: Love somebody but I won't say who
DORIS: He's big and strong
BUDDY Wouldja like to feel my muscle?
BRDORIS: Bold and gay
BRBUDDY: I never once lost a tussle
BRDORIS: At the moment he's not very far away
BRBUDDY: Why don'tcha say who's "they" already?
BRDORIS: I'd want to marry him today
BRBUDDY: But you don't say who
BRDORIS: That I cannot do
BRBUDDY: Happen to be me?
BRDORIS: Possibility
BR
BRBUDDY Won'tcha tell me who ya love?
BRDORIS: Love somebody
BRBUDDY: Tell me true
BRDORIS: Yes, I do
BRBUDDY: Yes, you do
BRDORIS: Love somebody
BRBUDDY: I do, too
BRDORIS: And I do
BRBUDDY: Maybe me

BRBUDDY: see'mon confess
BRDORIS: Why don'tcha try and guess?
BRBOTH: Do tell. Let's tell.
BRDORIS: You promise not to breathe a word?
BRBUDDY: Doris, don't be absurd
BRDORIS: Strictly entre-nous?
BRBUDDY: Oui, oui!! We two
BRDORIS: Well
BRBUDDY: Confidentially
BRDORIS: Between you and me
