Someone's Somebody
Jasmine Thompson Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Hmm-hmm, hmm-hmm-hmm
I can't control ya
Even though I want to
And you know it's torture
'Cause you brought someone new
And I can't ignore ya
I might need a doctor
So nervous next to you
Hell and hello
Yeah, those two words are, oh, so close
Oh baby, can you tell that I feel pain
I can't let go
I won't let you be someone's somebody
Can't see you with no one else
No, nobody, hmm-hmm
Someone's somebody
Should tell you that you can't leave this party with her
Hmm-hmm, hmm-hmm-hmm
Hmm-hmm, hmm-hmm-hmm
And I got some feelings
While you're holding hands right now
Now that I was healing
'Til you both came around
Don't you call her baby
Boy, you better watch your mouth
'Cause it's too soon, way too soon to say it
Hell and hello
Yeah, those two words are, oh, so close
Oh baby, can you tell that I feel pain
I can't let go
I won't let you be someone's somebody
Can't see you with no one else
No, nobody, hmm-hmm
Someone's somebody
Should tell you that you can't leave this party with her
Hmm-hmm, hmm-hmm-hmm
Hmm-hmm, hmm-hmm-hmm
Hmm-hmm, hmm-hmm-hmm
Hmm-hmm, hmm-hmm-hmm
I bet you don't know how it feels to be me right now
And I bet you don't know what it's like to be talked about
Here, try and get some closure, have composure and be poised
But it's hard to watch you leave and I can't let you be
Someone's somebody
Can't see you with no one else
No, nobody but me
Someone's somebody
Should tell you that you can't leave this party with her
No, no, no, no, no, no, no, ah
Oh, no, no, no, not today
Oh, no, hmm-hmm
Oh, hmm-hmm
Hmm-hmm, hmm-hmm-hmm
Hmm-hmm, hmm-hmm-hmm
The song Someone's Somebody by Jasmine Thompson is a heart-wrenching ballad about unrequited love. In the opening lines, she expresses her powerlessness over her feelings for someone who has moved on with another person. She admits that being around him makes her nervous and she needs a doctor to calm her down. The next verse reveals that she feels wounded by seeing him with his new partner and that he shouldn't be calling her "baby" so soon after their breakup. Despite her pain, she cannot let go of him and can't stand the thought of him being with anyone else.
In the chorus, Thompson insists that the person she loves cannot be someone's somebody else. She pleads with him not to leave with his new partner and emphasizes that he should be with her instead. She continues to hold onto hope that he will eventually come back to her and that she is the only person for him. The bridge of the song highlights the struggle she's experiencing, trying to remain composed and sane despite her overwhelming emotions. She pleads with the person she loves to stay with her and not to hurt her by leaving.
Overall, the song is a potent portrayal of unrequited love and the pain that comes with it. Thompson's voice and the melody are hauntingly beautiful, emphasizing the emotion and intensity of the lyrics.
Line by Line Meaning
I can't control ya
I don't have control over your actions
Even though I want to
Although I wish I could
And you know it's torture
You understand that it's unbearable
'Cause you brought someone new
Because you have introduced someone else
And I can't ignore ya
I'm unable to disregard you
Even though I'm trying to
Even though I'm attempting to
I might need a doctor
I might require medical assistance
So nervous next to you
Feeling anxious beside you
Hell and hello
Experiencing pain and greeting simultaneously
Yeah, those two words are, oh, so close
The two contrasting words are synonymous
Oh baby, can you tell that I feel pain
Do you realize I'm in agony?
I can't let go
I'm unable to move past it
I won't let you be someone's somebody
I won't let you be with someone else
Can't see you with no one else
I can't imagine you with anyone other than me
Someone's somebody
Being in a committed relationship with someone special
Should tell you that you can't leave this party with her
Someone should caution you not to leave this party with her
And I got some feelings
I have some emotions
While you're holding hands right now
Watching you hold her hand at the moment
Now that I was healing
I was starting to recover
'Til you both came around
Until you and her entered the picture
Don't you call her baby
Don't refer to her as darling
Boy, you better watch your mouth
Be careful what you say, young man
'Cause it's too soon, way too soon to say it
It's too fast, very premature to express those words
I bet you don't know how it feels to be me right now
I doubt you understand how I feel at this moment
And I bet you don't know what it's like to be talked about
I bet you never had to deal with being the topic of gossip
Here, try and get some closure, have composure and be poised
Try to find closure, stay calm and composed
But it's hard to watch you leave and I can't let you be
It's difficult to see you go and I can't let you be with her
No, nobody but me
No one else but me
No, no, no, no, no, no, no, ah
No, no, no, no, no, no, no, ah
Oh, no, no, no, not today
No, not today
Oh, hmm-hmm
Oh, hmm-hmm
Hmm-hmm, hmm-hmm-hmm
Hmm-hmm, hmm-hmm-hmm
Hmm-hmm, hmm-hmm-hmm
Hmm-hmm, hmm-hmm-hmm

I don't understand this in people. If Selena or anybody "famous" would released this song, it would have millions of views.
It's soo good, and soooo underrated.

Agreeing with your comment, so true
layla rayn
This song is basically saying
She loves this boy, but this boy is with somebody else. "Someone's somebody" Even though she's hurts and feels pain, she doesn't want him to go. She wants to still have a connection with this somebody. Amazing song. 😍
