You're Nobody 'Til Somebody Loves You
Russ Morgan and His Orchestra Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

You're a nobody till somebody loves you
You're nobody till somebody cares
You may be king, you may possess the world and its gold
But gold won't bring you happiness when you're growin' old

The world still is the same, you'll never change it
As sure as the stars shine above
You're nobody till somebody loves you
Find yourself somebody to love

You're a nobody till somebody loves you
You're nobody till somebody cares
You may be a king, you may possess the whole world and its gold
But gold won't bring you happiness when you're gettin' old

The world still is the same, you'll never change it
As sure as the stars shine above
You're nobody, nobody till somebody loves you
So find yourself somebody

Because you're nobody till somebody loves you
You're nobody till somebody cares
You may a king, you might possess the big fat world and its gold
But gold won't bring you happiness when you're growin' old

The world, the whole world's the same, you'll never change it change it
As sure as the stars shine above




You're a nobody till somebody loves you
So find yourself somebody somebody to love

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Russ Morgan and His Orchestra's song You're Nobody 'Till Somebody Loves You highlight the importance of love and companionship in life. The song suggests that no matter how successful or wealthy an individual is, without someone to love and care for them, they will always feel incomplete and be considered a nobody. The lyrics mention that one may be a king and have all the material possessions in the world, but these things alone will not bring happiness in old age. The world is always the same, and one cannot change it. However, love has the power to make a difference in one's life and bring them happiness.


The song's message is simple yet profound, reminding people that love is an essential aspect of human existence. It suggests that love is not just a feeling, but it's necessary for personal growth and well-being. The lyrics urge individuals to find someone to love and care for them as it is the only way to feel happy and fulfilled. Furthermore, the song reinforces the idea that no matter how successful, wealthy, or famous a person is, they need someone to share their life with to feel truly alive.

Great tempo, gives a wistful twist to the song. Russ' laconic vocal gives the song the right twist. (Did someone invite Freddy Martin along for the session...?😉)

While Morgan's was the first version to be released to the public, the actual 'original' first recording of the song was by the King Cole Trio: https://youtu.be/GZ1XFMDfy98
