To Love Somebody
Jordin Sparks Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
A certain kind of light
That never shone on me
I want my life to be lived with you
Lived with you
Theres a way everybody say
To do each and every little thing
But what does it bring
You dont know what its like, baby
You dont know what its like
To love somebody
To love somebody
To love somebody
The way I love you
In my brain
I see your face again
I know my frame of mind
You aint got to be so blind
And Im blind, so very blind
Im a man, cant you see
What I am
I live and breathe for you
But what good does it do
If I aint got you, aint got ?
The lyrics of Jordin Sparks's song To Love Somebody depict the longing and desire to be with someone that they love. The opening lyrics describe a specific kind of light that the singer has never experienced before, implying that they have not experienced true love until now. The line "I want my life to be lived with you" emphasizes their desire to be with this person, suggesting that their life would feel incomplete without them.
The chorus, "You don't know what it's like, baby / You don't know what it's like / To love somebody / To love somebody / The way I love you" reinforces this sentiment, highlighting the intense passion the singer feels for this person. They are so deeply in love that they feel like their feelings cannot be understood by anyone else.
In the second verse, the singer mentions that they "see your face again" in their brain, emphasizing the importance of this person in their life. The line "You ain't got to be so blind / And I'm blind, so very blind" suggests that their love is not reciprocated, and that they are struggling with unrequited love. The last two lines of the verse, "I live and breathe for you / But what good does it do if I ain't got you", further emphasize the fact that even though they love this person passionately, their love is not returned, leaving them feeling hollow and unfulfilled.
Line by Line Meaning
Theres a light
There is a specific type of light
A certain kind of light
That is very different from any other light
That never shone on me
And I have never experienced it before
I want my life to be lived with you
I desire to spend my life with you
Lived with you
Because you are the one I love
Theres a way everybody say
People have a specific method they recommend
To do each and every little thing
For every task or action
But what does it bring
But what is the outcome or effect of following that advice
If I aint got you, aint got ?
If I do not have you in my life, what is the point?
You dont know what its like, baby
You cannot comprehend the feeling, my love
You dont know what its like
Because you have not been in my position
To love somebody
To experience the intense emotions associated with loving someone
To love somebody
It is a powerful force without any parallel
To love somebody
There are no words sufficient to describe the depth of feeling in one's heart
The way I love you
How I feel about you and the strength of my love for you
In my brain
Inside my mind
I see your face again
I visualize your countenance once more
I know my frame of mind
I am aware of my thoughts and feelings
You aint got to be so blind
You should not overlook or ignore the sincerity and depth of my love
And Im blind, so very blind
But I am equally unable to see beyond my own heart
Im a man, cant you see
As a man, I have pride and love to offer
What I am
This is my identity, and this is how I feel
I live and breathe for you
My entire existence revolves around you
But what good does it do
But what is the benefit of this love when you are not with me
If I aint got you, aint got ?
If you are not by my side, my love, what is the worth of it all
