Everybody wants somebody to love
Someone to love
Someone to kiss
Sometime to miss, now
Someone to squeeze
Someone to please
And I need you you you

Literally could be said at any point in time since movies where invented. Hollow, pointless statement.
Maybe try enjoying something without putting something else down, for a change.
