Somebody To Love
George Michael With Queen Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Can anybody find me somebody to love?

Each morning I get up I die a little
Can barely stand on my feet (take a look at yourself)
Take a look in the mirror and cry
Lord, what you're doing to me
I have spent all my years in believing you
But I just can't get no relief, Lord!
Somebody oooh somebody
Can anybody find me somebody to love?

I work hard (he works hard) everyday of my life
I work 'till I ache my bones
At the end (at the end of the day)
I take home (goes home) my hard earned pay all on my own (goes home on his own)
I get down on my knees
And I start to pray (praise the Lord)
'Till the tears run down from my eyes
Lord, somebody oooh somebody
Can anybody find me somebody to love?

(He works hard)
Every day - 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
Got no common sense
I got nobody left to believe

Oh Lord
Somebody (somebody)
Can anybody find me somebody to love?

Got no feel, I got no rhythm
I just keep losing my beat
I'm OK, I'm alright
I ain't gonna face no defeat
I just gotta get out of this prison cell
Someday I'm gonna be free, Lord!

Find me somebody to love
Find me somebody to love
Find me somebody to love
Find me somebody to love
Find me somebody to love
Find me somebody to love
Find me somebody to love
Find me somebody to love
Find me somebody to love
Find me somebody to love

Somebody somebody somebody somebody somebody
Find me somebody find me somebody to love
Can anybody find me somebody to love?

Find me somebody to love
Find me somebody to love
Find me somebody to love
Find me find me find me
Find me somebody to love




Somebody to love
Find me somebody to love...

George Michael was 100% the right person to sing this song. He sounds amazing. It’s so sad he’s gone now too. God bless you George. We miss you.

@okisuprayogi6928

He is indeed. RIP George & Freddy

George could have been queen's vocalist

@mooseman3567

ALWAYS THOUGHT THAT GEORGE MICHAEL (RIP) WAS THE 1 AND ONLY CLOSET TO FREDDIE (RIP) AND STILL PUT A LITTLE OF HIS OWN INCREDIBLE TALENT TO RESPECTFULLY FRONT QUEEN AFTER FREDDIE PASSED.
GREATEST TRIBUTE IMO OF THIS INCREDIBLE RELIGIOUS TRIBUTE TO AN INCREDIBLE ARTIST.
PEACE,
Tom 🍀✌

Love George’s cover of this. He didn’t try to imitate Freddy’s pitch like everyone else. He just sung it with Freddie’s passion with his own voice.

@zivanajadresic2858

Incredibly beautiful performance with his unique wonderful colourful voice.Like a beautiful flower on the stage.

@victoriawashington565

I will miss both Freddie Mercury And George Michael!!!
