Someone
P. Diddy Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Uh, uh, uh, uh
Lookin' at my Rollie, it's about that time
For SWV to drop a gem on mine
Playa's talk the talk but they can't walk it
We make the whole country bounce when we New York it (say what?)
Don't speak about it, be about it (be about it, uh-huh)
Seein' Puff on your tube, feelin' weak about it (that's right)
I got the skill of an actor (what?), wind chill factor (what?)
Minus five-five, coolest man alive (woo)
Baby, who dat is? Oh, that's just Puff Daddy (come on)
Keep you on my mind, like I keep me on my shine (uh-huh)
And I feel fine (yeah)
Sex real dimes (say what?)
While I'm in your deck on rewind (let's go)
Ooh, I make it hot, 'til you're jellin' what PD got (uh-huh)
Since PD rock (what?), see me not
So many bricks I build a tenement
We'll do the freaky thing baby girl
If you're into it (let's go, come on)

I'm looking for a lover that
Can make a sacrifice
A lover that will understand
Will always be by my side (come on)
I pray the Lord so I can find
My Mr. Right
So who can it be?
The one for me I need

Someone that I can believe
Someone to satisfy me
I need love
(Oh, someone)
Someone who's faithful and true
Oh baby, can it be you?
I need love

Oh, can it be that you're the one
And I've been too blind to see
You're everything I'll ever need
Someone who will love me for me
I want to know, I want to see
My destiny
If your love is true I'll love you too
('Cause I need, I need)

Someone that I can believe
Someone to satisfy me
I need love
(Oh) someone who's faithful and true
Oh baby, can it be you?
I need love

Oh, someone, someone
Someone that I can believe
Someone to satisfy me
I need love
(Love, someone)
Someone who's faithful and true
Oh, baby, can it be you?
I need love
(Love, love) (this what I'm talkin' 'bout, alright, come on)

You could be the one
Love of a lifetime
Oh, baby, can it be the one for me
I need to know (I need)
Want you to be mine (want you to be mine)
Baby, why can't you be my everything I need (uh-huh, yeah)

Check this out
Y'all know the steez, SWV's (uh-huh)
Gone for a minute
Chillin' cross seas (that's right)
Back on the scene
Pocket full of cream, now
Gone so long thought they was locked in the Penile
Meanwhile (ah, haha)
They be bumpin' in the clubs
Can we get freaky tonight, sho' 'em love
Puff and J-Dub (uh-huh)
Platinum stats (yeah), plush oriental rugs, and platinum plaques
Come on (I like that)

You could be the one
Love of a lifetime
Oh, baby, can it be the one for me
I need to know (I need)
Want you to be mine (want you to be mine)
Baby, why can't you be my everything I need

Someone that I can believe (someone)
Someone to satisfy me
I need love
(Love, love, someone)
Someone who's faithful and true




Oh, baby, can it be you
I need love, love, love, someone

Overall Meaning

In "Someone," P. Diddy and SWV collaborate to create a smooth R&B track that explores the search for true love. The chorus is sung by SWV's Coko, as she sings about wanting to find someone who can be faithful and true. The sought-after lover is someone who can make a sacrifice, always be there, and satisfy her needs. P. Diddy, on the other hand, contributes verses that discuss his skill and status as a celebrity, while also acknowledging that he too is searching for someone to love. He offers to do "the freaky thing" with his potential partner, and talks about wanting to find the one who can be the love of his lifetime.


The song's lyrics portray a sense of vulnerability and honesty, as both P. Diddy and SWV sing about their desires for true love. The chorus acts as a plea for someone who can be a reliable partner, while P. Diddy's contributions touch on the idea that even successful celebrities struggle with finding love. The song's back-and-forth between the two artists adds a nice layer of contrast, as Coko's smooth vocals contrast with P. Diddy's more upfront approach.
