Someone
Mike Cavanaugh Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Just want someone to sing to
Someone to write about
Someone to cling to
Someone I can't live without
Someone to hold
Someone who will hold me back
Someone I can show
All the love I have

Just want someone to walk with
At midnight on the beach
Someone to lay with
When I'm helpless, tired and weak
Someone I can trust
Someone who will trust me back
Someone who knows
All the love I have

Just want someone to talk to
When life just isn't fair
Someone who'll be there
When less is what I could care
Someone who'll make
My darkness bright
Someone who'll say I do
And I do too

I got nothin' but love for you babe
I got nothin' but love for you babe
I got nothin' but love for you babe
I got nothin' but love for you babe
I got nothin' but love for you babe
I got nothin' but love for you babe
I got nothin' but love for you babe
I got nothin' but love for you babe
I got nothin' but love, love, love, love for you babe
I got nothin' but love, love, love, love for you
I got nothin' but love, love, love, love for you babe
I got nothin' but love, love, love, love for you
I got nothin' but love for you babe
I got nothin' but love for you babe
I got nothin' but love for you babe




I got nothin' but love for you babe
Nothin' but love

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Mike Cavanaugh's song Someone express a strong desire for a deep, meaningful connection with another person. The singer wants someone to sing about, write to, cling to, and to be unable to live without - an all-encompassing love. They yearn for someone who they can trust and who will trust them in return, and who they can share all the love they have with. They also desire physical intimacy, with someone to walk with on the beach at midnight, to lay with when they are tired and weak, and to talk to when life isn't fair.


Overall, the song paints a romantic picture of a deep, intense love that many people may aspire to. The singer is looking for a partner who can fulfill every aspect of their being, from the emotional to the physical. The repetition of the lines "I got nothin' but love for you babe" at the end of the song reinforces the idea that the singer is completely dedicated to this ideal partner, with no reservations or doubts in their love.
