Justin Bieber Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Every time I wake up next to you, I talk to God
And I'm so damn grateful 'cause you make up for the things I'm not
Didn't know I needed nothing 'til I needed you ('til I needed you)
In a world that's spinnin', it ain't easy lettin' go
8 billion people, we're just looking for a hand to hold
Everybody's tryna find someone to hold on to (hold on to)

It's okay, it's okay
We all try to pretend that we're brave
When I'm weak, yeah, I'm strong 'cause of you at the end of the day

Everybody needs somebody (everybody needs somebody)
Somebody to remind you that you're not alone
Who gon' defend you like an army (defend you like an army)
And never let go (and never let go)

Everybody needs somebody (everybody needs somebody)
Somebody to wake up to when everyone's gone
So if you need me, then you got me (if you need me, then you got me)
I'll be the shoulder you cry on
Everybody needs some-
Everybody needs somebody

Every time I look at you, I'm looking at a star
It's the way you light up every room just being who you are
Didn't know I needed nothing 'til I needed you ('til I needed you, oh)
Right before I met you, I never believed in magic
But you stole my heart before anyone knew you had it
I know (yeah, yeah) that you know (yeah, yeah)
What we got, it don't come easy

It's okay, it's okay
We all try to pretend that we're brave

Somebody to wake up to when everyone's gone
So if you need me, then you got me (if you need me, then you got me)
I'll be the shoulder you cry on




Everybody needs some-
Everybody needs somebody

Overall Meaning

In "Somebody," Justin Bieber sings about the importance of having someone in our lives who will always be there for us. He describes the person he's with as his saving grace, someone he talks to God about every morning because they make up for the things he's not. He goes on to say that in a world full of billions of people, it's not easy to let go and find someone to hold onto. But he's grateful that he's found that person in his life.


He sings about how this person gives him strength when he's weak, and how they remind him that he's not alone. He likens their support to an army that will defend him and never let go. He goes on to say that this person has stolen his heart and that he didn't believe in magic until he met them.


The message behind the song is clear - everybody needs somebody in their life who can be their support system, their rock, and their confidant. It's a reminder that no matter how strong and independent we may feel we are, we all still need someone to rely on at times.
