somebody to love
Justin Bieber feat. Usher Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Oh ooh

For you I'd write a symphony
I'd tell the violin
It's time to sink or swim
Watch him play for you

For you I'll be
Runnin' a million miles
Just to stand where you are
Step to the beat of my heart.
I don't need a whole lot
Coming from you I admit I
Rather give you the world
Or we can share mine
Know that I won't be the first one
Given you all this attention
Baby listen

I just need somebody to love
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 to love/

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
Coming from you I admit I
Rather give you the world
Or we can share mine
Know I won't be the first one
Given you all this attention
Baby listen

I just need somebody to love
(Oh, no no no no)
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 don't need too much
Just somebody to love.
I need somebody I-I need somebody.
I don't need nothing else
I promise girl, I swear.
I just need somebody to love.

And you can have it all
Anything you want I can bring
Give you the finer things, yeah
But what I really want
I can't find 'cause, money can't find me.
Somebody to love.

Find me somebody to love (Oh)

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

I need somebody
I need somebody
I just need somebody to love
I need somebody love,
I need somebody love,
I just need somebody to love
To love
To love

Overall Meaning

The lyrics on Justin Bieber's "Somebody to Love" featuring Usher, are a love song about chasing after someone to be with them. Bieber would go the distance to the extent of writing a symphony or running millions of miles just to stand where his love interest is. He doesn't need grand things nor anyone else but the one person he wants in his life. The words exemplify young love, desire, and the lengths one would go to find love. The chorus repeats the song's catchy phrase over and again "I just need somebody to love/ I don't need nothing else but somebody to love."
