Somebody
Ali Milner Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

how are you, it's been a long time
i heard you're moving, out of town
i'm ok, i'm glad you're happy
were you going to leave here, with out a sound

it's so good to hear your voice, i've been so busy
when did the silence get so loud?
i just want some body to love me
somebody to hug me
somebody to care
i just want somebody to need me
somebody to please me
someone to be there

do you remember that old café,
we used to meet there after dark
we'd grab our table, sit there laughing
as the hands flew 'round the clock

oh i know i know i know i know i know
you really gotta go
there is never enough time

i just want somebody to love me
somebody to hug me
somebody to care
i just want somebody to need me
somebody to please me
someone to be there

there must be somethnig i can say
there must be something i can do
to get you to stay and make me any shade but blue

oh i just want somebody to love me
somebody to hug me
somebody to care
i just want somebody to need me
somebody to please me
someone to be there

there must be something i can say
something i can do
to get you to stay, why won't you stay?





how are you, it's been a long time
i heard you're moving, out of town.
