Somebody To Love
Justin Bieber ♥ Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Oh oh for you I'd write a symphony!
I'd tell the violins
It's time to sink or swim
March and play for ya!

For you I'd be, whoa
Running a thousand miles to get to where you are
Step to the beat of my heart.
I don't need a whole lot but coming from you I admit I
Rather give you the world or we can share mine!
I know that I won't be the first one given you all this attention, baby listen

I just need somebody to love
I-I, I don't need too much just need somebody to love (Somebody to love)
I don't need nothing else, I promise girl I swear.
I just need somebody to love.

(I need somebody I-I need somebody
I need somebody I-I need somebody)

Everyday I bring the sun around,
I sweep away the clouds.
Smile for me (Smile for me)

I would take, every second, every single time
Spend it like my last dime, step to the beat of my heart.

I don't need a whole lot but coming from you I admit I
I'd rather give you the world or we can share mine!

I know I won't be the first one,
Given you all this attention baby listen!

I just need somebody to love I-I I don't need too much
Just need somebody to love. (just need somebody to love)
I don't need nothing else, I promise girl I swear.
I just need somebody to love.

I need somebody, I-I need somebody,
I need somebody, I-I need somebody.
I need somebody, I-I need somebody,
I need somebody, I-I need somebody. (Somebody to love, somebody to love.)
I just need somebody to love.

And you can have it all, anything you want.
I can bring you, give you, the finer things yeah!

But what I really want, I can't find 'cause,
Money can't find me somebody to love.

Oh whoa, find me somebody to love ooh

I need somebody to love, I-I don't need too much
Just somebody to love, somebody to love,
I don't need nothing else,
I promise girl I swear, I just need somebody to love.

I need somebody, I-I need somebody,
I need somebody, I-I need somebody somebody to love
I need somebody, I-I need somebody,
I need somebody, (I swear I just need somebody to love) I-I need somebody to love

(I need somebody)





Is she out there, is she out there, is she out there!
I just need somebody to love.

Overall Meaning

In "Somebody to Love," Justin Bieber confesses his desire to find love and be with his dream girl. The lyrics portray a sense of longing and an unrelenting desire to find someone who will love him unconditionally. Bieber uses musical imagery to describe his longing for this love, stating that he would write a symphony just for her, and he would tell his violins "it's time to sink or swim” if it meant it would bring her closer. He goes on to explain that he isn't asking for much, just someone to love, but he would give them the world or share his own. The chorus repeats the idea that he simply needs somebody to love, and nothing else matters.


The song paints a picture of a young man who is tired of being alone and wants to find love. He is aware that he is not the only one giving attention to this girl, but he knows the value of what their relationship can be. The tension in the song builds as he proclaims that he would do anything for this love, but like any true love story, there are obstacles in the way. The lyrics finally end with a question, as he implores "Is she out there?"


This song was released in 2010 and is an up-tempo dance pop song. It was written by Justin Bieber, Bruno Mars, Philip Lawrence, and the Stereotypes. It was produced by the Stereotypes and released as a single from his debut album "My World 2.0." The song reached number 15 on the US Billboard Hot 100 and became Bieber's second top-twenty hit.

[Verse 1]
Maybe I stare too much
Maybe not long enough
Funny how I forget to blink
But when you let down your hair
Dancin’ like no one’s there
I know I’m where I’m s’posed to be
[Pre-Chorus]
I say “I love you” under my breath
More times than you can digest
Music every time I hear your name, oh
Your head’s layin’ right on my chest
Sun’s up and I still ain’t got no rest
[Chorus]
Don’t wanna close my eyes, I’m scared I’ll miss too much
Don’t wanna fall asleep, I’d rather fall in love
When I can’t feel you, I feel out of touch
Two seconds without you’s like two months
Don’t wanna close my eyes, I’m scared I’ll miss too much
Don’t wanna fall asleep, I’d rather fall in love
‘Cause eternity with you ain’t long enough
Two seconds without you’s like two months
And that’s too much
[Verse 2]
Love the way you love your mom
Take on all your friends problems
Still somehow stop the world for us, oh
I still relive that second
I met my biggest blessing
Prayed for you, look what God has done

[Pre-Chorus]
I say “I love you” under my breath
More times than you can digest
Music every time I hear your name, oh
Your head’s layin’ right on my chest
Sun’s up and I still ain’t got no rest
[Chorus]
Don’t wanna close my eyes, I’m scared I’ll miss too much
Don’t wanna fall asleep, I’d rather fall in love
When I can’t feel you, I feel out of touch
Two seconds without you’s like two months
Don’t wanna close my eyes, I’m scared I’ll miss too much
Don’t wanna fall asleep, I’d rather fall in love
‘Cause eternity with you ain’t long enough
Two seconds without you’s like two months
And that’s too much

Maybe I stare too much, maybe not long enough
Funny how I forget to blink
When you let down your hair, dancin' like no one's there
I know I'm where I'm supposed to be
Say, "I love you" under my breath
More times than you can digest
Music every time I hear your name, oh
Your head's layin' right on my chest
Sun's up, but I still ain't got no rest
Don't wanna close my eyes, I'm scared I'll miss too much
Don't wanna fall asleep, I'd rather fall in love
When I can't feel you, I feel out of touch
Two seconds without you's like two months
Don't wanna close my eyes, I'm scared I'll miss too much
Don't wanna fall asleep, I'd rather fall in love
'Cause eternity with you ain't long enough
Two seconds without you's like two months
And that's too much
Love the way you love your mom
Take on all your friends problems
Still somehow stop the world for us, oh-oh
I still relieve that second
I made my biggest blessing
Prayed for you, look what God has turned
Say, "I love you" under my breath
More times than you can digest
Music every time I hear your name, oh
Your head's layin' right on my chest
Sun's up, but I still ain't got no rest
Don't wanna close my eyes, I'm scared I'll miss too much
Don't wanna fall asleep, I'd rather fall in love
When I can't feel you, I feel out of touch
Two seconds without you's like two months
Don't wanna close my eyes, I'm scared I'll miss too much
Don't wanna fall asleep, I'd rather fall in love
'Cause eternity with you ain't long enough
Two seconds without you's like two months
And that's too much

2 Much

Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere
Maybe I stare too much
Maybe not long enough
Funny how I forget to blink
But when you let down your hair
Dancin' like no one's there
I know I'm where I'm s'posed to be
Say: Love you, under my breath
More times than you can digest
Music every time I hear your name, oh
Your head's layin' right on my chest
Sun's up, but I still ain't got no rest

Don't wanna close my eyes, I'm scared I'll miss too much
Don't wanna fall asleep, I'd rather fall in love
When I can't feel you, I feel out of touch
Two seconds without you's like two months
Don't wanna close my eyes, I'm scared I'll miss too much
Don't wanna fall asleep, I'd rather fall in love
'Cause eternity with you ain't long enough
Two seconds without you's like two months
And that's too much
Love the way you love your mom
Take on all your friends problems
Still, somehow, stop the world for us, oh
I still relive that second
I made my biggest blessing
Prayed for you, look what God has turned
Say: Love you, under my breath
More times than you can digest
Music every time I hear your name, oh
Your head's layin' right on my chest
Sun's up, but I still ain't got no rest

Don't wanna close my eyes, I'm scared I'll miss too much
Don't wanna fall asleep, I'd rather fall in love
When I can't feel you, I feel out of touch
Two seconds without you's like two months
Don't wanna close my eyes, I'm scared I'll miss too much
Don't wanna fall asleep, I'd rather fall in love
'Cause eternity with you ain't long enough
Two seconds without you's like two months
And that's too much
