Everybody Loves Somebody
Dave Barbour & His Orchestra Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Everybody loves somebody, sometime
Everybody falls in love, somehow
Something in your kiss just told me
My sometime is now

Everybody finds somebody, someplace
There's no telling where love may appear
Something in my heart keeps saying
"My someplace is here"

If I had it in my power
I'd arrange for every girl to have your charms
Then every minute, every hour
Every boy would find what I've found in your arms

Everybody loves somebody, sometime
And although my dream was overdue
Your love made it well worth waiting
For someone like you

Everybody loves somebody, sometime
And although my dream was overdue




Your love made it well worth waiting
For someone like you

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Dave Barbour & His Orchestra's song Everybody Loves Somebody speak to the universal experience of falling in love. The first line, "Everybody loves somebody, sometime," suggests that falling in love is not only common but inevitable. The second line, "Everybody falls in love, somehow," reinforces this idea that love is not something that happens to a select few but rather something that happens to everyone in different ways.


The third and fourth lines, "Something in your kiss just told me/My sometime is now," speak to the power of physical attraction and how it can be an indicator of deeper emotions. The singer is drawn to the person they are kissing and feels like they have finally found the person they have been waiting for.


The fifth and sixth lines, "Everybody finds somebody, someplace/There's no telling where love may appear," suggest that love can appear unexpectedly and in unlikely places. The seventh and eighth lines, "Something in my heart keeps saying/'My someplace is here,'" speak to the intuition and feeling that can come with falling in love.


The final lines of the song, "If I had it in my power/I'd arrange for every girl to have your charms/Then every minute, every hour/Every boy would find what I've found in your arms," speak to the depth of the singer's feelings for their partner. They wish everyone could experience the love they have found, and the final couplet emphasizes the idea that love is something that is worth waiting for.
