Somebody Like You
Keith Urban Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

There's a new wind blowing like I've never known
I'm breathing deeper than I've even done
And it sure feels good to finally feel the way I do
And I want to love somebody, love somebody like you

And I'm letting go of all my lonely yesterdays
I've forgiven myself for the mistakes I've made
Now there's just one thing, the only thing I want to do
I want to love somebody, love somebody like you

Yeah, I want to feel the sunshine
Shining down on me and you
When you put your arms around me
You let me know there's nothing in this world I can't do

I used to run in circles, going nowhere fast
I'd take one step forward and took two steps back
I couldn't walk a straight line even if I wanted to
I want to love somebody, love somebody like you

Oh, here we go now, ooh, yeah
Hey, I want to love ya, baby
Oh oh, oh oh

Yeah, I want to feel the sunshine
Shining down on me and you
When you put your arms around me
Well baby, there ain't nothing in this world I can't do

Sometimes it's hard for me to understand
But your teaching me to be a better man
I don't want to take this life for granted like I used to do, no no
I want to love somebody, love somebody like you

I'm ready to love somebody, love somebody like you
I want to love somebody, love somebody like you, yeah
Hey, I want to love ya, baby, woo, oh, yeah

Oh, yeah, woo
Oh, yeah

Oh, I want to be the man in the middle of the night shining like it's true
Wanna to be the man that you run to whenever I call on you
When everything that loved someone finally found it's way
And I'm gonna be a better man, I see it in you, yeah

Yeah, yeah
Hey, I want to love you, baby
Oh, yeah
