Christina Aguilera Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Wish I was somebody's baby
Somebody's somebody
Somebody's somebody
(Somebody)
Watching lovers walking
Hand in hand, they pass me by (yeah)
Wish I had somebody wakin' up beside me
Looking into my eyes at night
I want a love to call my own (I want a love to call my own)
I want someone that I can hold (I want someone that I can hold)
Want someone wanting me
I wanna feel how it feels to be
Somebody's somebody
Someone's someone
Some sweet lover's lover
I wanna be that one (I wanna be the one)
Someone faithful to someone faithful
Someone kind to someone kind to me
Somebody to somebody who loves me (who loves me, yeah)
Who loves me
Spending all of my time
Spending all my time on me (oh baby)
Where is that someone who I can give my time to
Searching for that lover
With the love that will change my life
I want two arms to hold me close (I want two arms to hold me close)
I want the thing I need the most (I want the thing I need the most)
Somebody needing me
So I can feel how it feels to be, to be, yeah
Somebody's somebody
Someone's someone
Some sweet lover's lover
I wanna be that one (I wanna be the one)
Someone faithful to someone faithful
Someone kind to someone kind to me
