Someone
Louie DeVito Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Hello?

Hello...
Veronica, don't hang up the phone,
It's me, Pun.
I'm sayin', don't hangup.
Just hear me out.
What?

I know it's over, I know it's over,
But just let me come over for one minute.

For what?

So I can hold you in my arms one more time.
Just one more time, so I can show you.
Nawumsayin?
Show you what you're missin'.

Time after time, when I'm alone,
I keep thinking of you, babe,
And the way you make me feel.
And I get excited, and I can't deny it,
'Cause I know when I feel this way,
It just won't stay inside.
With all this love I have,
And I'm trying to explain
That my heart can belong to you.

[Chorus]
All I want.
All I need.
All I ask.
All I need is someone to hold.
Hold me.
Hold me.
Hold me.

Emotion is all I see,
But I gotta feel your hands on me.
Plain old words ain't enough, babe,
I gotta have your touch,
'Cause I'm wanting you so much.
Baby can't you see?

[Chorus]

Baby, baby, baby.

[Chorus]

Being next to you
Is something that I want to do.
Let me hold you.
I need you.
'Cause no one can love you like I do.

One time, check it out, what.
Mommy, I'll be there when you're lonely.
You can hold me, like a teddy bear.
See, I really care for what you're feelin', here.
Tell it to me clear.
Be sincere, don't get shook-up.
'Cause I'm the Cuban crook who wrote the Book of Love.
So you could trust me suga'.

When I look in ya' eyes,
I see the sunrise.
The way your tongue glides to the song,
Gives me the strongest love rise.
God was unwise to let the Pun find his perfect seven.
You're my earth and heaven, wrapped up in one perfect woman.

I felt it comin', since the first song is on.
Now whenever you perform,
Even the birds sing along.
Bring the Dom Perignon and let's celebrate.
Elevate your state of mind.
Forget the headaches and just meditate.

Honey, you smell great;
Your scent is even sweeter than peeled grape.
You're like an L base with dust crushin' the real lace.
I feel ya heat already, just knowin' I'm gonna be wit' you.
But once I get a hold, I'm never gonna relinquish you.





[Chorus]

I never thought I would find this again! I'm instantly taken back to a happier time in my life. I miss the early 2000's.thanks for the memories!

@kerinclarkin9868

Working in the Club scene in the early 200's there was no social media. it was just hanging out with friends listing to music.. this is what life was & I miss it everyday :)

@aegontargaryen8245

I hear u papa studio 6 in AC was my mini N.Y. RIP TJ THE DJ ALSO SHOT OUT TO MY BOY JOEY LIGHTS

@russo3957

Definitely a simpler time... craziest thing a cellphone could do was play snake... Meeting people and exchanging phone numbers, not Instagram handles. Music will always take me back but remain timeless.

@cbreen1212

Worked at a huge club from 03 til covid shut is down...praying we reopen

@deviousj5868

I missed that since I was wayy too young. That must've been the best feeling in the world. Not too many people mention how awesome elements of the early 2000s were.

@MadisonHarlow

Best times ever.
