You My Love
Frank Sinatra Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

You're nobody 'til somebody loves you
You're nobody 'til somebody cares
You may be king, you may possess the world and its gold
But gold won't bring you happiness when you're growin' old

The world still is the same, you'll never change it
As sure as the stars shine above
You're nobody 'til somebody loves you
Find yourself somebody to love

You're nobody 'til somebody loves you
You're nobody 'til somebody cares
You may be a king, you may possess the whole world and its gold
But gold won't bring you happiness when you're gettin' old

The world still is the same, you'll never change it
As sure as the stars shine above
You're nobody, nobody 'til somebody loves you
So find yourself somebody

Gotta get yourself somebody

Because you're nobody 'til somebody loves you
You're nobody 'til somebody cares

You may a king, you might possess the big fat world and its gold
But gold won't bring you happiness when you're growin' old

The world, the whole world's the same
You'll never change it, change it
As sure as the stars shine above
You're nobody 'til somebody loves you




So find yourself somebody
Somebody to love

Overall Meaning

When Sinatra sings "You're nobody 'til somebody loves you," he's not saying that you're literally nobody if you don't have a romantic partner or family member who loves you. Rather, the song is about the emptiness that's present when you achieve success and fame, but lack love and companionship. "You may be king, you may possess the world and its gold, but gold won't bring you happiness when you're growing old," he sings. In other words, material wealth and success are not enough to create a fulfilling life. This theme is echoed throughout the song, with lines like "The world still is the same, you'll never change it" suggesting that even with worldly success, you cannot change the nature of life itself.


Ultimately, the song is a message about the power of love and its importance in our lives. The final lines, "You're nobody 'til somebody loves you / So find yourself somebody to love," emphasize the importance of connecting with others and finding love in order to feel complete.


Line by Line Meaning

You're nobody 'til somebody loves you
Your identity, worth, and happiness are incomplete without love and affection from someone else.


You're nobody 'til somebody cares
Your existence doesn't have any significance or purpose until someone pays attention to you and shows concern for your well-being.


You may be king, you may possess the world and its gold
You might have all the power, wealth, and material possessions that the world can offer, but they won't fill the emotional void of not having someone to love and care for you.


But gold won't bring you happiness when you're growin' old
Riches and luxuries can provide temporary pleasure, but they can't replace the love and companionship you need to be happy and content in your old age.


The world still is the same, you'll never change it
The world exists in a constant state of chaos and misery, and no individual can change its nature or overcome its challenges.


As sure as the stars shine above
As certain as the fact that the stars exist up in the sky,


You're nobody 'til somebody loves you
Your sense of self-worth and belonging is validated only when you receive love from someone else.


Find yourself somebody to love
Seek and establish a loving relationship with someone to fill the void in your life and bring you happiness and meaning.

My love is ever you, my love
Now and forever, you my love
You walked into my lonely world
What peace of mind your smile unfurled

Yes, and because of you, my love
My wishful dreams came true, my love
In my uncertain heart, I am only certain
Of how much I love you, my love

In my uncertain heart, I am only certain
Of how much I love you, my love



Jeff Lipinski
