Need to Belong to Someone Lyrics

Someone, someone
Someone, someone
Someone, someone
Someone, someone

I need to belong to someone
It hurts to be known as no one
Will ever some sweet girl bring love into my world?
'Cause I need to belong to someone

I wanna be kissed and held tight
I want to be missed on a cold and lonely night
Somebody hear my plea, call out to me
'Cause I need to belong to someone

Sometimes I feel like a motherless child
No one cares for me, I've never known sympathy
I hide my needs from the world with a smile
Understand that I'm only a man

And a man needs to belong to someone
Man hates to be known as no one
Will ever some sweet girl bring a little love into my world?
'Cause I need to belong to someone

Oh, I hide my needs, from the world with a smile
But understand, I'm only a man

And a man needs to belong to someone
A man hates to be known as no one
Oh, send me a sweet girl to bring love into my world
'Cause I need to belong to someone

I need to be kissed, yeah
(I need to belong to someone, someone)
I need to be missed, oh yeah
(I need to be loved by someone, someone)
I need to be held tight on a cold, cold and lonely night
(I need to belong to someone, someone)

I need to hold, hold someone, someone
(I need to be loved by someone, someone)
I need to belong to someone
(I need to belong to someone, someone)

I need to be missed, oh yeah, someone
(I need to be loved by someone, someone)
(I need to belong to someone, someone)
(I need to be loved by someone, someone)

I need to belong, some sweet girl
(I need to belong to someone, someone)
Bring love into my world
(I need to be loved by someone, someone)

(I need to belong to someone, someone)

Isaac Lee Hayes (born Aug 20, 1942, in Covington, Tennessee - died Aug 10, 2008, in Memphis, Tennessee) was an influential soul singer, songwriter, musician, producer, arranger, and actor. One of the key creative forces behind Memphis' Stax Records, Hayes began his recording career in 1962, soon playing saxophone for The Bar-Kays. Hayes and writing partner David Porter would pen numerous hits for Stax artists such as Sam & Dave ("Hold On! I'm Comin'", "Soul Man") and Carla Thomas ("B-A-B-Y") during the mid-1960s.

In the late 1960s and early 1970s, Hayes became famous as a recording artist in his own right, scoring with critically and commercially successful albums such as Hot Buttered Soul and Black Moses. Hayes is best known today for composing the score to the 1971 blaxploitation film Shaft. That film's "Theme from Shaft" was one of the best-selling singles in Stax Records history, and Hayes became the first African-American to win an Oscar for a non-acting category when "Theme from Shaft" won the 1972 Academy Award for Best Song.

Isaac Hayes may be known to today's youngest generation as the voice of the character "Chef", the ladies' man/school cook, on the animated sitcom South Park from 1997 until his resignation from the show in March 2006. While Hayes' departure was tagged to a controversial South Park episode on Scientology that had supposedly offended him, Hayes rarely declared anything about the departure in first person.
