I picked a flower and I named her
She withered away
A heart like a locket but I'll find a way in
Oh, but beauty has to fade

Oh, I don't know, God I don't know
Just that I want to love somebody
Somebody, somebody, somebody

I will never kiss your wonderful lips
I'll never tire of dreaming of it
As I drift off to sleep

Listening to chimes ringing clear as the morning
I’ll set my soul free
I felt my heart sing and my spirit soaring
Was this whole world made for me?

Do you hear wedding bells? Do you hear wedding bells?
Because I want to love somebody
Somebody, somebody, somebody

I will never kiss your wonderful lips
I'll never tire of dreaming of it
As I drift off to sleep on the water

I think about everything else
And I know that I must love myself
'Til anyone other than me
Can look and then see what I see
And sense where the harmony dwells
Do you hear wedding bells?

I picked a flower and I named her
Watched her fade away
A heart like a locket but I'll find a way in
I'm not really up to it

Do you hear wedding bells? Do you hear wedding bells?
Because I want to love somebody
Somebody, somebody, somebody

I will never kiss your wonderful lips
I'll never tire of dreaming of it
As I drift off to sleep on the water

I will never kiss your wonderful lips
I'll never tire of dreaming of it
As I drift off to sleep on the water
