You Could Meet Somebody Lyrics by Ub40

You Could Meet Somebody

[chorus]
You could meet somebody, you never know
From brief encounters habits grow
Into giant oaks that hide the sun
Life in the shadows ain`t no fun


It`s easy getting up there
Never think of coming down
Not hard to say `i want you`
When you`re floating on a cloud
But you know that lonely feeling
When nothing`s going right
`cause it`s only the beginning
Of a cold and sleepless night

[chorus]

You could meet somebody, you never know
From brief encounters habits grow
Into giant oaks that hide the sun
Your only chance is to turn and run


It`s harder getting up there
And it`s painful coming down
And now you can`t see clearly
Beneath the thunder cloud
And the loneliness gets longer
When nothing`s going right
And things ain`t getting any better
With another sleepless night


[chorus]

You could meet somebody, you never know
From brief encounters habits grow
Into giant oaks that hide the sun
Your only chance is to turn and run
