somebody to love
Amber Riley Cory Monteith Kevin McHale and Lea Michele Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Can anybody find me somebody to love?

Each morning I get up I die a little
Can barely stand on my feet
Take a look in the mirror and cry
Lord what you're doing to me
I spent all my years believing you
But I just can't get no relief, Lord!
Somebody, oh somebody
Can anybody find me somebody to love?

Got no feel, I got no rhythm
I just keep losing my beat
I'm OK, I'm alright
I ain't gonna face no defeat
I just gotta get out of this prison cell
Someday I'm gonna be free, Lord!

[Repeat: x7]
(Find me somebody to love)

Can anybody find me somebody to love?

Somebody find me oh
Somebody find me




Somebody love
Somebody, somebody to love
