somebody to love
Joey Cook Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

When the truth is found to be lies and all the joy within you dies.
Don't you want somebody to love?
Don't you need somebody to love?
Wouldn't you love somebody to love?
You better find somebody to love.
When the garden flowers baby are dead and your, mind your mind is full of red.
Don't you want somebody to love?
Don't you need somebody to love?
Wouldn't you love somebody to love?
You better find somebody to love.
Your eyes I said your eyes may look like his.
yeah, but in your head baby I'm afraid you dont know where it is.
Don't you want somebody to love?
Don't you need somebody to love?
Wouldn't you love somebody to love?
you better find somebody to love.
Tears are runnning, they're running down your dress and your friends baby they treat you like a guest.
Don't you want somebody to love?
Don't you need somebody to love?
Wouldn't you love somebody to love?
You better find somebody to love.
Don't you want somebody to love?
Don't you need somebody to love?




Wouldn't you love somebody to love?
You better find somebody to love.

Overall Meaning

The lyrics in Joey Cook's song "Somebody To Love" speak about the search for love and companionship. The opening lines speak to the heartbreak of realization that the truth we cling to may not always be real, and the subsequent loss that can result from this disillusionment. It is during this moment that the song poses the question, "Don't you want somebody to love? Don't you need somebody to love? Wouldn't you love somebody to love? You better find somebody to love." Here, the song acknowledges the universal desire for love and companionship, even in the face of adversity.


The second verse of the song speaks to the concept of mental unrest, where the mind is "full of red" and everything around seems lifeless. In this state, the need for love and companionship is even more heightened, with the song continuing to inquire, "Don't you want somebody to love? Don't you need somebody to love? Wouldn't you love somebody to love? You better find somebody to love."
