Somebody To Love
Chris Colfer/Cory Monteith/Dianna Agron/Glee/Heather Morris/Jenna Ushkowitz/Kevin McHale/Naya Rivera Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

For you I'd write a symphony
I'd tell the violin it's time to sink or swim
Watch them play for ya

For you I'd be (whoa-wo)
Running a thousand miles
Just get to where you are
Step to the beat of my heart

I don't need a whole lot
But for you I admit I'd
Rather give you the world
Or we can share mine

I know I won't be the first one
Giving you all this attention
Baby, listen

I just need somebody to love
I, I don't need too much
Just somebody to love
Somebody to love
I don't need nothing else, I promise, girl, I swear
I just need somebody to love

I need somebody
I, I need somebody
I need somebody
I, I need somebody to love

Everyday I'd bring the sun around
I'll sweep away the clouds
Smile for me

I would take every second, every single time
Spend it like my last dime
Step to the beat of my heart

I don't need a whole lot
But for you I admit I'd
Rather give you the world
Or we can share mine

I know I won't be the first one
Giving you all this attention
Baby, listen

I just need somebody to love
I don't need too much
Just somebody to love

Somebody to love
I don't need nothing else, I promise, girl, I swear
I just need somebody to love

I need somebody
I, I need somebody
I need somebody
I, I need somebody to love

I need somebody
I, I need somebody
I need somebody
I just need somebody to love

And you can have it all
Anything you want
I can bring, give you the finer things, yeah

But what I really want, I can't find 'cause
Money can't find me, somebody to love, oh

Find me somebody to love, oh

I need somebody to love, yeah
I, I don't need too much
Just somebody to love

Somebody to love
I don't need nothing else, I promise, girl, I swear
I just need somebody to love

I need somebody
I, I need somebody (to love)
I need somebody
I, I need somebody (to love)

I need somebody
I, I need somebody




I need somebody
I swear I just need somebody to love
