Someone Else
Connie Francis Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Whoa-oh-oh, Whoa, whoa
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa-oh-oh
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa
In the lonely night
I wake up to find
Someone else's boy
Always on my mind
But he doesn't know
How much I really love him so.

Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa
Though it isn't right
When I dream like this
I long to hold him tight
And to taste his kiss
And then I wake to find
He's someone else's boy
Not mine.

Chorus:
Whenever I see them together
It breaks my poor heart in two
I know that I should forget him
"Cause he's her guy but what can I do?

Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa
How I hope and pray
To the Lord above
To send me down a boy
One that I can love
Who'll be mine alone
And not someone else's boy.

Chorus:
Whenever I see them together
It breaks my poor heart in two
I know that I should forget him
"Cause he's her guy but what can I do?

Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa
How I hope and pray
To the Lord above
To send me down a boy
One that I can love




Who'll be mine alone
And not someone else's boy...

The chorus of the song describes the unbearable pain that the singer experiences whenever she sees the man she loves together with his girlfriend. She knows that she should forget him and move on, but she can't help but feel helpless and powerless. Despite her heartache, she still holds onto hope that one day she will be able to find love with a man who will be hers alone.


The lyrics of "Someone Else's Boy" resonate with many people who have experienced unrequited love or have been in a similar situation where the person they love cannot be theirs.

Een heel mooi nummer van een groot zangeres, CONNIE FRANCIS.

@ronviens7040

I grew up listening to Connie's music forever, but it wasn't until I went to Germany in 1973, with the U.S. Air Force, that I found out about her German lyrics version of this song. I think the German lyrics sound more natural and definitive than all the other languages, and I find myself playing that song the most, of all her greatest hits. Connie, thank you so much for all the great music during your career .... we all love you!

@iljanstolcevic

And German lyrics are deeper meaning
