Ray Charles — Somebody Ought to Write a Book About It

[Intro] Listen [Chorus] Somebody ought to write a book about it Don't you know I can't sleep at night about it To me, there's no doubt about it, yeah Somebody ought to write a book about it [Verse 1] There been many a story about love that's been told But none know the heartaches that my story holds It's filled with excitement, yeah, from beginning to the end And every time I think about it, I have to say it again [Chorus] Somebody ought to write a book about it Because I can't sleep at night about it To me, there's no doubt about it (Yeah) Somebody ought to write a book about it [Verse 2] If someone could write the feelings of thе heartaches and the pain And thе long days and the lonely nights that I've spent in vain Of the few happy moments through my life that she gave And the way that she used to love me just to make me a slave [Chorus] Somebody ought to write a book about it Don't you know I can't sleep at night about it To me, there's no doubt about it Wait a minute now Somebody ought to write a book about it [Verse 3] I think the last chapter in the book should talk about a man's pride And how, when he walks upright, he has to run away and hide And the way love can make him feel good Even a-walkin' in the rain That's the one day, but the next day, it can bring so much pain [Chorus] Somebody ought to write a book about it, no, no, no I can't sleep at night about it To me, there's no doubt about it Somebody ought to write a book about it To me, there's no doubt about it, no I want you to know somebody ought to write a book about it [Outro] Say it again, girls To me, there's no doubt about it Somebody ought to write a book about it I like that, ooh, say it again To me, there's no doubt about it now Wait a minute now Somebody ought to write a book about it
