SOMEDAY

Music & Lyrics by Mariah Carey, Ben Margulies
Released June 12, 1990; Single from the album Mariah Carey


Uhm ah ah uhm ooh oh hey wow wow hey hey
Hey hey hey hey yeah

You were so blind to let me go
You had it all but did not know
No one you'll find will ever be
Closer to all your dreams than me
Believing the grass would be greener
You told yourself "I just don't need her now"
But I know you'll soon discover
You're never satisfied with any other

Someday Oo Someday
One you gave away will be the only one you're wishing for
Someday hey hey
Boy you're gonna pay 'cause baby I'm the one who's keeping score

You'll change your mind and call my name
Soon as you find they're all the same
And when you find yourself alone
Don't come back crying you should have known
Believe me I'm not pretending
It's not hard to predict this ending now
'Cause I know you'll soon discover
You're needing me in spite of all the others

Someday Oo Someday
One you gave away will be the only one you're wishing for
Someday hey hey
Boy you're gonna pay 'cause baby I'm the one who's keeping score
Someday Oo Someday

One you gave away will be the only one you're wishing for
Someday hey hey
Boy you're gonna pay 'cause baby I'm the one who's keeping score

Maybe now you just can't conceive
That there'll ever come a time when you're cold and lonely, no no no
Baby, how could you ever believe
That another could replace me the one and only, oh yeah
But when your down in your time of need, ooh
And you're thinking that you might be coming back to own me

Just think again 'cause I won't need your love anymore!

(Guitar break)

(Someday)
Someday Oo Someday
One you gave away will be the only one you're wishing for
(Someday) someday (someday yeah) hey hey (oh yeah yeah yeah)
Boy you're gonna pay 'cause baby I'm the one who's keeping score
(You want for me wishing for me, oh)
Someday Oo Someday (oh)
(For me for me for me for me for me yeah yeah)
One you gave away will be the only one you're wishing for
(Oh yeah hey baby) Someday hey hey
Boy you're gonna pay 'cause baby I'm the one who's keeping score
(Someday someday) someday (some some someday) Oo Someday
One you gave away will be the only one you're wishing for
One you gave away will be the only one
Someday hey hey
Someday
Boy you're gonna pay 'cause baby I'm the one who's keeping score
Someday Oo Someday
One you gave away will be the only one you're wishing for
