somebody to love
(Hard covers of fucking pops) - W.A.S.P Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And the sun begins to fade
Still enough time to figure out
How to chase my blues away
I've done alright up 'til now
It's the light of day that shows me how
And when the night falls
The loneliness calls
Oh, I wanna dance with somebody
I wanna feel the heat with somebody
Yeah, I wanna dance with somebody (dance)
With somebody who loves me
Oh, I wanna dance with somebody
I wanna feel the heat with somebody
Yeah, I wanna dance with somebody
With somebody who loves me
I've been in love and lost to my senses
Spinnin' through the town
Sooner or later, the fever ends
And I wind up feelin' down
I need a man who'll take a chance
On a love that burns hot enough to last
So when the night falls
My lonely heart calls
Oh, I wanna dance with somebody
I wanna feel the heat with somebody
Yeah, I wanna dance with somebody (dance)
With somebody who loves me
Oh, I wanna dance with somebody
I wanna feel the heat
Yeah, I wanna dance with somebody
With somebody who loves me
(Somebody who, somebody who)
Somebody who loves me, yeah
(Somebody who, somebody who)
To hold me in his arms, oh
I need a man who'll take a chance
On a love that burns hot enough to last
So when the night falls
My lonely heart calls (oh)
Oh, I wanna dance with somebody
I wanna feel the heat with somebody
Yeah, I wanna dance with somebody (dance)
With somebody who loves me
Oh, I wanna dance with somebody
I wanna feel the heat with somebody
Yeah, I wanna dance with somebody
With somebody who loves me
Ooh, ooh (dance)
Come on, baby (dance)
Woo, yeah (dance)
Now get with this, whoa (dance)
Don't you wanna dance (dance) with me, baby?
Don't you wanna dance (dance) with me, boy?
Hey, don't you wanna dance (dance) with me, baby?
With somebody who loves me
Don't you wanna dance? Say you wanna dance
Don't you wanna dance?
Don't you wanna dance? Say you wanna dance
Don't you wanna dance?
Don't you wanna dance? Say you wanna dance
Uh-huh
With somebody who loves me
Ooh
Ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh
Hey, baby
Don't you wanna love me? Don't you wanna love me?
In the song "Somebody to Love" by W.A.S.P, the lyrics speak to the longing for companionship and the despair that comes with feeling alone. The opening lines "When the truth is found to be lies, you know the joy within you dies" suggest a deep disappointment that has shattered the singer's sense of self. The lyrics then transition into the chorus, which repeats the need for love and connection. The line "You better find someone to love" emphasizes the urgency of this need.
The next stanza then speaks to the confusion and uncertainty that comes with the search for love. The singer asks if the person he's speaking to wants and needs somebody to love, followed by the rhetorical question "Wouldn't you love somebody to love?" This is repeated three more times as if to emphasize how important it is to find someone to connect with.
The last stanza describes a scene of heartbreak and rejection. The metaphor of tears running down her chest suggests a deep emotional pain that the singer's friend is experiencing. The final line "And your friends baby, they treat you like a guest" suggests that even though the person is surrounded by people, they still feel alone and rejected.
Overall, the lyrics suggest a deep longing for connection and companionship, which is contrasted with a sense of despair and loneliness.

Although you physically resemble someone else, you are not the same person
Yeah, but in you head, baby
Your thoughts and feelings are unique
I'm afraid you don't know where it is
You may not fully understand or be in touch with your own thoughts and feelings
Tears are running
You are crying
Running along down your breast
Your tears are flowing down your chest
And your friends baby
Even the people you consider friends
They treat you like a guest
Make you feel unwelcome or like an outsider

God I love every cover WASP has ever done. Blackie always add such a unique touch. I've always wondered what Bad to the Bone by George Thorogood would sound like coming out of Blackie's vocals and Chris Holmes' guitar.

Their original songs are already so damn badass as it is but W.A.S.P. is definitely one of the best bands at doing cover songs that there's ever been ! They're a classic hard rock song's best friend if there ever was one!Scream if you like it!!!
