Somebody New
Mr Jukes Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I've tried but i can't keep on telling her it's over
She's been crying almost for three months
Stuck in bed drinking red at home
All alone
All alone
He broke your heart - I'm sorry
But life ain't like no chocolate box
You got to quit acting so blue
And please stop dragging me down with you
Girl so find somebody new
She talks for hours says she'll never love again
I said you'll move on soon and forget this whole thing
But she's been crying almost for three months
Stuck in bed drinking red at home
All alone
All alone
But this shit it ain't my problem
He broke your heart - I'm sorry
But life ain't like no chocolate box
You got to quit acting so blue
And please stop dragging me down with you
Girl so find somebody new
In Mr Jukes's song "Somebody New," the singer is having a conversation with a heartbroken girl who has been crying alone for three months. The girl is seeking comfort from the singer by trying to wipe her tears on his "cold shoulder." Despite his attempts to tell her that it is over, she is still stuck in bed drinking red wine and feeling alone. The singer sympathizes with the girl but is becoming increasingly frustrated as she continues to drag him down with her. Mr Jukes is urging the girl to move on and find somebody new.
The central theme of the song is the importance of moving on from a heartbreak. The singer is trying to impart some tough love to the girl while still acknowledging her pain. He is urging her to find someone new and stop dragging him down with her. The lyrics also highlight the fact that life is not always like a Hollywood movie or a perfect box of chocolates- it can be messy and complicated.
Overall, Mr Jukes's "Somebody New" is a poignant reflection on the pain of heartbreak and the need to let go and move forward.
