Somebody s gotta scratch your back, in the places you can t reach
Say something that ll make you laugh, when that s exactly what you need,
And I hope that s me, I hope that s me.
Somebody s gonna get dressed up and take you out for Valentine s,
Get lots of jealous looks thinking that s one lucky guy,
And I hope that s me, I hope that s me.
And you, you keep on wondering who, is gonna love you like I already
do, and I keep wondering when you ll see, that eventually.
Somebody s gotta throw on a coat
when your fever hits a hundred and two,
go down and pick your prescr i ption up,
and come home and fix you soup,
And I hope that s me, I hope that s me.
Somebody s gonna buy a ring,
Somebody s gonna make you cry,
Somebody s gonna lift that veil,
And get to look into your eyes,
And I hope that s me, I hope that s me.
Cause you, you keep on wondering who, is gonna love you like I already
do, and I keep wondering when you ll see, maybe eventually.
Old man on a front porch swing,
Looking back on his long life,
Glass of ice tea in his hand,
Other arm around his wife.
And I hope that s you, I hope that s me.
I hope that s you, and I hope that s me.
I hope that s you, and I hope that s me.
I hope that s you, and I hope that s me.
I hope that s me.
