Something
Himesh Patel Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Attracts me like no other lover
Something in the way she woos me
I don't wanna leave her now
You know I believe and how
You're asking me, will my love grow
I don't know, I don't know
I don't know, I don't know
The lyrics to Himesh Patel's "Something" are a cover of the classic Beatles song, "Something". The songwriting prowess of George Harrison shines through in this timeless piece. The opening lines of the song set the romantic tone with "Something in the way she moves, Attracts me like no other lover." The lyrics depict a love so strong that it's hard to leave. The singer is enamored by his lover's actions and cannot resist their charm.
The chorus of the song is very interesting. The lines, "You're asking me, will my love grow, I don't know, I don't know. Stick around now, it may show, I don't know, I don't know" are open to interpretation. The singer is unsure of how his love will grow, but he urges his lover to stick around as there's a possibility of the love blossoming. The uncertainty of love is relatable to many, regardless of age and experience.
Overall, "Something" is a beautiful love song that stands the test of time. Himesh Patel does an excellent job of capturing the essence of the original song and infusing it with his own style.
Line by Line Meaning
Something in the way she moves
There's a certain charm about the way she carries herself
Attracts me like no other lover
It's unlike any other attraction I've ever experienced
Something in the way she woos me
Her efforts to win my heart are just so unique
I don't wanna leave her now
I never want to part ways with her
You know I believe and how
I have complete faith in what I feel for her
You're asking me, will my love grow
You want to know if my feelings for her will intensify
I don't know, I don't know
I'm not quite sure, I can't predict the future
Stick around now, it may show
Stay around a little longer, and maybe we'll both find out
I don't know, I don't know
Still not sure, I can't guarantee anything
