Somebody To Love
Ruben Hein Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Walking down the same old street
She caught my eye, I had never seen her before
Just don't know what came over me
I said to her: I want, what you want, what we want, somebody to love
I said to her: I want, what you want, what we want, somebody to love
Whose to say that I can't take a chance
Whose to say today is not my day
She walks like she is on top of the world
Can I get her to look my way
Do you want, what I want, somebody to love
Yeah I wonder if you want, what I want, what we want, somebody to love
Somebody to love
The lyrics of Ruben Hein's song "Somebody To Love" depict a moment where the singer is walking down the same old street he always walks and at half past four, sees a woman who sparks his interest. He says that he has never seen her before, and he doesn't quite understand what came over him when he saw her. He then goes on to say that he wants what she wants and what we all want: somebody to love.
The lyrics convey a sense of hopefulness and longing for companionship that most people can relate to. The singer sees this woman and realizes that he wants more than just a casual fling or meaningless endeavors. He wants a relationship, someone to commit to and care for, and the woman he sees might just be the person he's been looking for. The chorus of the song, "Do you want what I want, somebody to love" echoes this sentiment.
Overall, the song speaks to the universal desire to find love, connection, and meaning in life. It is a song that taps into the longing that most people feel at some point or another, and it does so in a way that is relatable and honest.
