Some People
Angela Lansbury Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Some people like to get way on a plane
Some people like to party every night,
But all I want to do
Is baby stay home with you
Some poeple like chillin at the beach
Some people they don't practice what They preach
But all I want to do is baby stay home With you
All I really want to do
On days I'm with out you (without you)
You still linger on my mind
There is no substitution
You are where I want to spend my time
Baby
Some people like workin day n night
Some people they are lookin for a fight
Some people they just dream there life Away
But baby all I want to do is baby stay Home with you
All I really want to do
On days I'm without you (without you)
You still linger on my mind
There is no subsitution (no)
You are where I want to spend my time
Some people they like workin day n night
Some people are lookin for a fight
Some poeple they like to dream there Life away
But all I want to do
Is baby stay home with you
The song "Some People" by Angela Lansbury is a beautiful love song that talks about the different things people like to do in life, but for the singer, what she wants the most is to stay home with the person she loves. The first two verses mention things that people usually enjoy doing, such as walking in the rain, partying every night, or chilling at the beach. However, the singer doesn't share these interests, and all she wants is to spend time with her loved one. The third verse talks about how some people work hard, fight or dream their life away, but none of these things matter to the singer as long as she's with the person she loves.
The chorus repeats the same idea, that what the singer wants more than anything is to be with her beloved. The line "On days I'm without you, you still linger on my mind" shows that even when they are apart, the person she loves is always on her thoughts. She sees no substitution for her lover, and that person is where she wants to spend her time.
The message of "Some People" is simple yet powerful: love is what matters the most, and we should cherish the time we spend with the people we care about. The song reminds us that sometimes, the simplest things in life bring the most joy, and that spending time with the people we love is one of those things.
