Somebody Like Me
Craig David feat. AJ Tracey Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Oh no no, yeah yeah
AJ Tracey I see you right there
Oh yeah

I was walking through the club like a soldier
Had to put the brakes when I saw her
I could see the smile on her face
She was there whining her waist

I saw her right next to some guy that's a minor
'Cause the only thing I know is I like her
Look like she wants somebody else on her rider
But she don't know she playing with fire
It's going down going down
Baby you don't even know what you started
Touching down touching down
'Cause I already know what you're wanting
You already know, we ain't gotta talk
You ever had anything like this before?
No way

You need somebody like me
Somebody like me
You need somebody like me
Somebody like me
Somebody like me
You need somebody like me
Somebody like

You already know, we ain't gotta talk
You ever had anything like this before?
No way
You need somebody like

I just had a straight Henny and it's kickin'
Brought her in a Rollie 'cause it's tickin'
Bad gyal, I'm a starboy so I'm pickin'
And this girl's strong like the steamed veggies and the chicken
Living in the Hills that's the vision
But at the moment I got London in my vision
I see the space then I make an incision
I got love for brothers rockin', I ain't bothered if you isn't
Pretty girl got my heart skippin'
Pendant on me water so I'm drippin'
Fienin' for the money man I'm itchin'
Wrist whippin', I don't need a cooker in the kitchen
Nike with the Fendi, man I'm swishin'
Tryna stop the powers, man they wishin'
Them man are all dropping dimes, stop snitchin'
And I'm doin' foreign dunes, skrt skrt so I'm switchin'

You already know, we ain't gotta talk
You ever had anything like this before?
No way

You need somebody like me
Somebody like me
You need somebody like me
Somebody like me
Somebody like me
You need somebody like me
Somebody like

You already know, we ain't gotta talk
You ever had anything like this before?
No way

Come over get to know me (really get to know me)
I can see it in your eyes
You wanna get to know me (you wanna get to know me)
How 'bout I meet you outside?
We can dip out of this party oh yeah)
Come jump in my ride and you can get to know me
You can really get to know me (trust me)

You already know, we ain't gotta talk
You ever had anything like this before?
No way

You need somebody like me
Somebody like me
You need somebody like me
Somebody like me
Somebody like me
You need somebody like me
Somebody like

You already know, we ain't gotta talk
You ever had anything like this before?

No way
You need somebody like me
