(Try to get up, try to get up)
(Try to get up, try to get up)
Wait and see because you know you need somebody
I said, the lovin' you lost is just one of the costs
When you're livin' in the streets and you're runnin' from cops
When you're livin' by the words and the things you say
And if your mother only knew
That all these things you say you know are true
c'mon and a little woman, yes, the one you wanted
The type of woman leave you brokenhearted
Got the type of body that you can't ignore
Said, you got a lot of money but you can't afford
A little lovin' from the wrong side
Of the bed you sleepin' for the long night
Wait and see because you know you need somebody
(Try to get up)
Oh yeah, somebody
(Try to get up)
Oh yeah, somebody
(Try to get up)
Oh yeah
(Try to get up, please somebody)
You're sayin' that you're leavin', baby
I don't think that you're comin' back
And nothing's meant to last forever
Let me know what you think about that
'Cause taking time to think about it
Only means that you'll work it out
Said thinkin' that you need her
And what it's all about, c'mon and
If your mother only knew
That all the things you say you know are true
And if you're thinkin' that you need someone new
You'll have to wait and see because you know you need somebody
(Try to get up)
Oh yeah, somebody
(Try to get up)
Oh yeah, somebody
(Try to get up)
Oh yeah
(Try to get up, please somebody)
The song "Somebody" by Slightly Stoopid talks about the struggles of living life on the streets and how it takes a toll on a person. The lyrics suggest that in this kind of life, people are constantly running from the law and the only comfort they get is from the words and actions of the people around them. The chorus of the song, "Wait and see because you know you need somebody," is a plea for love, companionship, and support. The song suggests that despite the hardships, everyone needs someone to lean on, to love them, and to make them feel whole.
The verses of the song highlight different aspects of life on the streets. The first verse describes how living by the words you say and the things you do can be a heavy burden to bear. The second verse talks about the frustration of having a lot of money but not being able to afford the kind of love you yearn for. The bridges of the song suggest that thinking through your problems doesn't necessarily mean you'll find a solution, and that sometimes you just have to wait and see.
Overall, the song "Somebody" is a call for love and support, and a recognition that everyone needs someone to lean on, no matter how tough or independent they may seem.
