Somebody To Love
Queen and Ben Elton Lyrics

Can anybody find me somebody to love?
The singer is desperately searching for a person to love and be loved by.

Ooh, each morning I get up I die a little
The singer wakes up feeling unfulfilled and unhappy every day.

Can barely stand on my feet
The singer feels emotionally drained and overwhelmed with the weight of their unhappiness.

(Take a look at yourself) Take a look in the mirror and cry (and cry)
The singer feels deeply unhappy with themselves and their life.

Lord, what you're doing to me (yeah yeah)
The singer feels that their unhappiness is a result of some force greater than themselves.

I have spent all my years in believing you
The singer has believed in something or someone (possibly God) but has not found any relief from their unhappiness.

But I just can't get no relief, Lord!
The singer feels like they have tried everything to feel better but nothing has worked.

Somebody (somebody) ooh somebody (somebody)
The singer repeats the word 'somebody' to emphasize their desire for companionship.

I work hard (he works hard) every day of my life
The singer works hard and sacrifices a lot in their life.

I work 'til I ache in my bones
The singer works so hard that their body physically hurts.

At the end (at the end of the day)
At the end of every day, the singer is tired and alone.

I take home my hard earned pay all on my own
The singer has no one to share their accomplishments and wealth with.

I get down (down) on my knees (knees)
The singer prays for help and guidance.

And I start to pray
The singer turns to religion as a source of hope and comfort.

'Til the tears run down from my eyes
The singer is so emotional and hopeless that they cry while praying.

(Please) can anybody find me somebody to love?
The singer is pleading for someone to help them find love and happiness.

Everyday (everyday) I try and I try and I try
The singer tries every day to feel better and find love.

But everybody wants to put me down
The singer feels like everyone in their life is trying to bring them down or discourage them.

They say I'm going crazy
Others in the singer's life are labeling them as mentally unstable.

They say I got a lot of water in my brain
Others in the singer's life believe that the singer is not thinking clearly.

Ah, got no common sense
Others believe that the singer is making bad decisions and lacks common sense.

I got nobody left to believe in
The singer feels alone and like they have no support system.

Find me somebody to love
The singer repeats their desire for someone to love.

Got no feel, I got no rhythm
The singer feels emotionally disconnected and out-of-sync with the world around them.

I just keep losing my beat (you just keep losing and losing)
The singer feels like they are losing their sense of purpose and hope.

I'm OK, I'm alright (he's alright, he's alright)
Despite their unhappy state, the singer assures themselves and others that they are alright.

I ain't gonna face no defeat (yeah yeah)
The singer is determined to not let their unhappiness get the best of them.

I just gotta get out of this prison cell
The singer feels trapped by their unhappiness and wants to escape from it.

One day (someday) I'm gonna be free, Lord!
The singer is optimistic that someday they will find happiness and be free from their unhappiness.

Can anybody find me somebody to love?
The singer repeats their plea for someone to help them find love.

Somebody find me, find me love
The singer begs for someone to find them love.
