somebody to love
Lea Michele and Glee Cast Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

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

For you I'd be (whoa-wo)
Running a thousand miles
Just get to where you are
Step to the beat of my heart

I don't need a whole lot
But for you I admit I'd
Rather give you the world
Or we can share mine

I know I won't be the first one
Giving you all this attention
Baby, listen

I just 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 to love

Everyday I'd bring the sun around
I'll sweep away the clouds
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 for you I admit I'd
Rather give you the world
Or we can share mine

I know I won't be the first one
Giving 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

I need somebody
I, I need somebody
I need somebody
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, oh

Find me somebody to love, oh

I need somebody to love, yeah
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 (to love)
I need somebody
I, I need somebody (to love)

I need somebody
I, I need somebody




I need somebody
I swear I just need somebody to love

Can anybody find me somebody to love?

Each morning I get up I die a little
Can barely stand on my feet
Take a look in the mirror and cry
Lord what you're doing to me
I spent all my years believing you
But I just can't get no relief, Lord!
Somebody, oh somebody
Can anybody find me somebody to love?

Got no feel, I got no rhythm
I just keep losing my beat
I'm OK, I'm alright
I ain't gonna face no defeat
I just gotta get out of this prison cell
Someday I'm gonna be free, Lord!

Can anybody find me somebody to love?

Somebody find me oh
Somebody find me
Somebody love
Somebody, somebody to love

Season 1, 2 and 3 were the best. Who agrees?

@thegriffin2135

Because the entire show was centered around glee rather than collage

@gladysbaptiste3028

The Griffin Exactly, the show was focused mostly on the club and whoever was in it at that time, and only focused on other characters when nothing was really happening with glee. I'm glad I'm not the only one who noticed this.

@leafyade

Just Tonicha agree

@harapukeu4302
