Something To Live For Lyrics - Nina Simone Sings Ellington! - Nina Simone

(1939) Duke Ellington, Billy Strayhorn 

I want something to live for 

Someone to make my life an adventurous dream 

Oh, what wouldn't I give for 

Someone who'd take my life and make it seem 

gay as they say it ought to be 

Why can't I have love like that brought to me? 

My eye is watching the noon crowds 

searching the promenades seeking a clue 

To the one who will someday be my 

Something to live for 

Something to live for 

Something to live for
