We continue our tour of the Partridge Family Album with this 3rd track on side 2
This song was released in October 1970
Lyrics
INTRO:
On your own, far away from home
There doesn't seem to be a friend when you're alone
People stare, you wonder if they care
So, you turn your back on someone with love to spare
Try to see, it's gotta be
Lovin' one another is the only possibility
So, when you're down and losin' ground
Don't get to thinkin' love can't be found
CHORUS: Hey, stop, stop! And look around
Somebody wants to love you
Stop, stop! And turn around
Somebody wants to love you
Somebody wants to love you
Ooooo....
Hey, you! It's nothin' new
Love will be around no matter what you do
Or will you try every alibi
And fool yourself some more then wonder why
So try to see, it's gotta be
When you turn your back on love, you miss the opportunity
And once again, you're at a dead end
And nowhere to turn without a friend
(Ulster, 2020)
