Somebody For Me
Heavy D and The Boys Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Love somebody who love me for me
Happy happy where I wanna be
Love somebody who love me for me
Happy happy where I wanna be
I'll search low and I'll search high
My destination leads me to a dead end
Over and over and over again
They told me to wait, so I waited
Anticipated, debating and delayed it
But still came up with the same ol' thing
Nothing
It seems as if every time I find the right girl
She turns out to be the very wrong girl
Tell me y'all, when will this madness stop?
I want somebody to love me for me
Not because I'm MC Heavy D
I'm looking for a love that's as solid as a rock
Love somebody who love me for me
Happy happy where I wanna be
Love somebody who love me for me
Happy happy where I wanna be
Now maybe I'll take a trip around the world
And find myself a beautiful, gorgeous girl
They say when you look, one never find
They also say that love is blind
It ain't that blind that I can't see
Somebody out there who's perfect for me
Somebody who's gonna love me for me
(I know you want love)
Love, that's what I'm talkin' about
A relationship, a commitment
Something to live for
(Maybe if you take your time)
Time has been taken and time has been spent
Now it's time for the lover to score
Love somebody who love me for me
Happy happy where I wanna be
Love somebody who love me for me
Happy happy where I wanna be
Love somebody who love me for me
Happy happy where I wanna be
Love somebody who love me for me
Happy happy where I wanna be
Yo, Eddie F. break it down
Yeah, aight, here we go
So that's the storyline of my life
No cutie pie, no future wife
Just relationships that bounce back like rubber
I guess I'll call it a day and throw my towel in
'Cause it seems that I can't win
So I'll just carry on being an Overweight Lover
Love somebody who love me for me
Happy happy where I wanna be
Love somebody who love me for me
Happy happy where I wanna be
Love somebody who love me for me
Love somebody who love me for me
Love somebody who love me for me
The song "Somebody For Me" by Heavy D & The Boyz talks about the struggles of finding love and searching for someone who loves them for exactly who they are. The lyrics express a frustration with how difficult it can be to find the right person, but also a lingering hope that their perfect match is out there somewhere.
Heavy D talks about how he's been searching high and low for a "cutie pie" who will love him for himself, and not for his MC status. He's been disappointed before, but remains optimistic that there is someone out there for him. The lyrics also touch on the idea that love can be blind, but Heavy D can still see that there is someone out there who is perfect for him.
Overall, the song sends a message about the importance of being loved for who you are, and not for anything else. Many people can relate to the struggle of finding someone who accepts them completely, and "Somebody For Me" expresses this sentiment in a catchy and upbeat way.

Happy happy where I wanna be
Being content with the person they are with
I'll search low and I'll search high
Looking for love in all different places

My destination leads me to a dead end
Finding no luck in finding the right person
Over and over and over again
Continuously experiencing the same result
They told me to wait, so I waited
People advised them to wait for the right person
Anticipated, debating and delayed it
Contemplating whether or not to wait for someone and postponing the search
But still came up with the same ol' thing
Still having no luck finding the right person
Nothing
Zero luck in finding the right partner
It seems as if every time I find the right girl
Thinking they have found the right person
She turns out to be the very wrong girl
Finding out that the person was not right for them
Tell me y'all, when will this madness stop?
Questioning when they will find the right person
I'm looking for a love that's as solid as a rock
Wanting a relationship that is strong and won't falter
Now maybe I'll take a trip around the world
Thinking about changing their approach and traveling the world to find love
And find myself a beautiful, gorgeous girl
Hoping to find someone attractive
They say when you look, one never find
People say that searching for love doesn't work
They also say that love is blind
People say that love can make you see past flaws
It ain't that blind that I can't see
Saying they can still find someone despite these sayings
Somebody out there who's perfect for me
Believing that there is someone out there who is perfect for them
(I know you want love)

Love, that's what I'm talkin' about
Stating that they are talking about love and relationships
A relationship, a commitment
Wanting a committed relationship
Something to live for
Feeling that love is important and gives life meaning
(Maybe if you take your time)
Suggesting that taking time may lead to success
Time has been taken and time has been spent
Having invested time and energy into finding love
Now it's time for the lover to score
Saying that it's time for them to find success in love
So that's the storyline of my life
Describing their past experiences with relationships
No cutie pie, no future wife
Having not yet found someone to marry
Just relationships that bounce back like rubber
Having experienced failed relationships that didn't last
I guess I'll call it a day and throw my towel in
Feeling defeated in their search for love
'Cause it seems that I can't win
Feeling like they keep losing in their search for love
So I'll just carry on being an Overweight Lover
Accepting that they are who they are and will continue looking for love
Love somebody who love me for me
Reiterating the desire to find someone to love them for who they are.
Love somebody who love me for me
Reiterating the desire to find someone to love them for who they are.
Love somebody who love me for me
Reiterating the desire to find someone to love them for who they are.
