Somebody Else's Guy
Jocelyn Brown Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I can't get off my high horse and I can't let you go
You are the one who
You are the one who makes me feel so real, yeah yeah yeah

Oh, what am I supposed to do
Oh, what am I supposed to do, baby

When I'm so hooked up on you
Then I realized, oh, I realized
That you are somebody else's guy, oh, yeah
Why you want to do this to me, boy

(Somebody else's guy)

Can you remember the times we've spent together
Sharin' the days in the sun
But then I found out that you were somebody else's love
After all our plans we've made, now they're shattered

But still I can't get off my high horse, I can't let go
You are the one who makes me feel so real
Ooh, what am I supposed to do when I'm hooked so on you
And then I realized that you're somebody else's guy

That day in September, I'm sure you can remember
That's when all the stuff hit you fast
You told me a lie and you didn't have an alibi
But baby, yet I still cared

You know, I loved you so, baby, that I can't let you go, no, no
You are the one who makes me feel so real
Ooh, what am I supposed to do when I'm hooked so on you
And I realize that you're somebody else's guy

You know, I loved you so, baby, that I can't let you go, no
You are the one who make me feel so real
Ooh, what am I supposed to do when I'm hooked so on you
And then I realized that you're somebody else's guy

Oh, I can't get off my high horse and I can't let go
You are the one who makes me feel so real
Ooh, what am I supposed to do when I'm hooked so on you
And I realized that you're somebody else's guy, oh

I can't let you go, no
You are the one who makes me feel so real

Ooh, what am I supposed to do when I'm hooked so on you
And then I realized that you're somebody else's guy, oh

Oh, I can't get off my high horse and I can't let go
You are the one who makes me feel so real
Ooh, what am I supposed to do when I'm hooked so on you
And realized that you're somebody else's guy

Ooh ah
And realized that you're somebody else's guy, oh

Ooh ah
Ooh and realized that you're somebody else's guy, oh

Oh, oh babe babe babe
You are the one who makes me feel so real
What am I supposed to do when I'm hooked so on you
And realized that you're somebody else's guy

Oh, I can't get off my high horse and I can't let go
You are the one who makes me feel so real
Ooh, what am I supposed to do when I'm hooked so on you
And realized that you're somebody else's guy





Oh, I can't get off my high horse and I can't let go

Jocelyn Brown was underrated. Between this and Caught Up in A One Night Love Affair She had 2 of my favorite disco era songs.

@THEREALLORDJ

DONT FORGET "IT'S RAINING MEN" WITH THE LEGENDARY MARTHA WASH!!!

@terrytibbstalksfooty5131

Just buried my auntie carmel this was her favourite song it played as the curtains shut RIP AUNTY CARMEL I LOVE YOU AND MISS YOU

@mrmaxxx94

Jocelyn Brown put feets in this classic jam and sang the notes off the keys on this cut and it's still a bumper. respect

@anndavis2920

This woman sang this song. She rocks my world every time i hear the intro. I only have one problem. That is when she says 'i cant get off my high horse n i cant let go' - well im not in that league cuz i can let him go back to her or whoever. I kept hearing these words in my head while i was getting ice cream. Jocelyn sounds so good when shes putting emphasis on her pain w/her voice. I can feel every word she sings. It hurts so bad when we get played. Sometimes the hurt never stops or goes away. Praying for us all to have relief from the pain of fakery.

@crocusmoon8782

So true...I hear you...xxx

@jesperhjensen1978

@tracirivers3438
