Los Lonely Boys Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Written by: Henry Garza, JoJo Garza, Ringo Garza

How are you doing?
Well I hope you're doin' fine
Last time I saw you, girl
You were wavin' me goodbye

Someday you'll realize
That true love's hard to find
You're gonna need me in your life

Why should I take you back
When you said we were through?
Said if I'd take you back
You would promise to be true

Someday you'll realize
That true love's hard to find
You're gonna need me in your life

Como as estado (How are you doing)
Ojala te encuentres bien (Hope you're doing fine)
Y cuando te vi (And when I saw you last)
Me estavas dicendo adios (You were saying goodbye)
Un dia tu vas a saber (One day you'll realize)
Que tu evas a ser mi mujer (You were gonna be my girl)
Porque me dehaste (Why did you leave me with)
Hierido el corazon (A broken heart)





Someday you'll realize
That true love's hard to find

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Los Lonely Boys's "Someday You'll Realize" are about a man who has been left by his lover and is communicating with her through the song. He starts the song by asking about her well-being, expressing his concern for her. He then reminds her of the time when she waved him goodbye and left him alone. The singer sings about how one day she'll realize the true difficulty of finding love and how she will need him in her life.


Further, the singer is not ready to take her back even if she asks for it, reminding her how she said that they were through. He questions why he should take her back when she had hurt him in the past. The man seems to be regretful that she left him alone, and reminds her how true love is hard to find. Finally, he tells her in Spanish that one day she'll know that she was supposed to be his girl, and not someone else's, and how he's left with a broken heart.


The lyrics of the song portray the pain of heartbreak, but also express the need for love that the singer wants the girl to realize. The song ends with him telling her that someday she'll realize that he was her true love.
