Somebody Like You
Engelbert Humperdinck Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

There's a new wind blowin' like I never known
I'm breathin' deeper than I've ever done
And it sure feels good to finally feel the way I do
I wanna love somebody, love somebody like you

I'm lettin' go of all my lonely yesterdays
Forgiven myself for the mistakes I've made
There's just one thing, the only thing I need to do
I wanna love somebody, love somebody like you

I wanna feel sunshine
Shinin' down on me and you
When you put your arms around me
Let me know there's nothing in this world I can't do

I'm runnin' 'round in circles goin' no-where fast
I'd take one step forward and then two steps back
Couldn't walk a straight line even if I wanted to
Yeah, I wanna love somebody, love somebody like you

I wanna feel sunshine
Shinin' down on me and you
When you put your arms around me
Let me know there's nothing in this world I can't do

Sometimes it's hard for me to really understand
But you're teachin' me to be a better man
Don't want to take this life for granted like I used to do
I wanna love somebody, love somebody like you

I wanna love somebody, love somebody like you, like you
Love somebody, love somebody like you




Yeah, baby, like you, like you
Somebody like you
