Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Can barely stand on my feet
(Take a look at yourself)
Take a look in the mirror and cry (And cry)
Oh what you're doing to me (Yeah yeah)
I have spent all my years in believing you
But I just can't get no relief, oh!
Oh somebody (Somebody)
Somebody (Somebody)
Can anybody find me somebody to love?
I work hard every day of my life (he works hard)
I work till I ache in my bones
At the end (At the end of the day)
I take home my hard earned pay all on my own
I get down (Down)
On my knees (knees)
And I start to pray
Till the tears run down from my eyes
Oh somebody (Somebody),
Somebody
(Please) Can anybody find me somebody to love?
(He works hard)
Everyday (Everyday)
I try and I try and I try
But everybody wants to put me down
They say I'm going crazy
They say I got a lot of water in my brain
I got no common sense
I got nobody left to believe
Yeah yeah yeah yeah
I have spent all my years believing you
But I just can't get no relief, oh!
Can anybody find me somebody to love?
