Somebody Loves Me
Dave Barbour & His Orchestra Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Somebody loves me, I wonder who
I wonder who he can be
Somebody loves me, I wish I knew
Who can he be worries me

For every boy who passes me, I shout â??Hey, maybe'
You were meant to be my loving baby, baby, oh
Somebody loves me, I wonder who
Maybe it's you

For every boy who passes me, I shout â??Hey, maybe'
You were meant to be my loving baby, baby

Somebody loves me, I wonder who
Maybe, it's




Baby, it's
Maybe, baby, that somebody is you

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to the Dave Barbour Orchestra's song "Somebody Loves Me" speak to the feelings of the singer who is curious about who it is that loves them. The first verse suggests that the singer knows that someone loves them, but they do not know who it is and this is causing them to worry. They are unsure if this love is good or bad and it is making them speculate on who this mystery suitor could be. The second verse suggests that the singer is attempting to flirt with every boy who passes them by, luring out the one who may be their secret admirer. The lyrics suggest that the singer is feeling a mix of curiosity, anxiety, and longing, making the search for the identity of their secret lover all the more urgent.


The tone of the lyrics are slightly whimsical and lighthearted. The idea of someone loving you and not knowing who they are could be seen as both exciting and frightening, and the lyrics do a great job of capturing that balance. The ultimate suggestion at the end of the song, that "maybe, baby, that somebody is you," creates a sense of playful flirtation, while also suggesting that the search for love is a journey that one must be open to.
