(P. Cetera/M.Goldenberg) Arranged by Peter Cetera and Mark Goldenberg Horns Arranged by Jimmy Pankow There is a time when a man needs somebody to talk to Someone to talk to, somebody who'll always be there All alone, nothin' seemed to matter So alone, doesn't get much better Can't explain somethin' that you're feelin' For the very first time There was a time when you needed someone to hold onto Someone to hold you, somebody who's always sincere All alone, suddenly you see her So alone, you know you're gonna need her Can't explain, somethin' that you're feelin' For the very first time Chorus: Then along comes a woman There's a change in the way that you're feeling tonight Then along comes a woman And you know that it's right There was a time when you needed someone to count on You needed someone to count on, somebody to care Now she's here, nothin' seems to matter She's so near, everything is better Can't explain, somethin' that you're feelin' For the very first time Chorus (C) 1984 Double Virgo Music ASCAP/Music Corporation of America, Inc.* & Fleedleedle Music* BMI *Rights Adm. by MCA Music, A Division of MCA, Inc.
