Double You Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And if you want somebody
You've got to tell the people of the world
Let's get on up we're ready to go
You've got to make the people understand
That love is not a one night stand
We've got to show the children of the world
They gotta hold on tight and not let go
You've got to tell the people of the world
To open up and show their love
And if you love somebody
You need somebody to love
And if you want somebody
Then find somebody to love
Somebody somebody

The lyrics of Double You's song "Somebody" carry an uplifting message about the power of love and the need to spread it widely. The song urges the listener to express their love to the world and to not treat it as a fleeting emotion but as a profound force that can bring people together. The opening lines set the tone for the rest of the song, exhorting the listener to love somebody and to communicate that love to others. The song encourages the listener to take action and spread love, to make the world a better place that sees love in every corner.
The lyrics of "Somebody" reflect the common theme of early 90s dance music which was to stir up positive emotions and togetherness among people from diverse backgrounds, dancefloors being the unifying force. Double You, who were famous for their Eurodance music sound in this period, were one of the pioneers of this genre, and they addressed themes like love, faith, and solidarity that deeply resonated with the youthful audiences that were their primary target.
