Someone
SWV feat. Diddy Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Lookin' at my Rollie, it's about that time
For SWV to drop a jam on mine
Playa's talk the talk but they can't walk it
We make the whole country bounce when we New York it
Don't speak about it, be about it
Seein' Puff on your tube, feelin' weak about it
I got the skill of an actor, wind chill factor
Baby, who dat is? Oh, that's just Puff Daddy
Keep you on my mind, like I keep me on my shine
And I feel fine
Sex real time
While I'm in your deck on rewind
Oh I make it hot, till you're jellin' what PD got
Since PD rock, see me not
So many bricks I build a tenement
We'll do the freaky thing baby girl
If you're into it
[SWV]
I'm looking for a lover that
Can make a sacrifice
A lover that will understand
Will always be by my side
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
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 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
Someone that I can believe
Someone to satisfy me
I need love
Someone who's faithful and true
Oh baby, can it be you
I need love
Someone that I can believe
Someone to satisfy me
I need love
Someone who's faithful and true
Oh baby, can it be you
I need love
You could be the one
Love of a lifetime
Oh baby can it be the one for me
I need to know
Want you to be mine
Baby, why can't you be my everything
[Puff]
Check this out
You all know the Steve's, SWV's
Gone for a minute
Chillin' cross seas
Back on the scene
Pocket full of cream, now
Gone so long thought they was locked in the Penile
Meanwhile
They be bumpin' in the clubs
Can we get freaky tonight, sho' 'nuff
Puff and J-Dub
Platinum stats, plush oriental rugs, and platinum plaques
Come on
You could be the one
Love of a lifetime
Oh baby can it be the one for me
I need to know
Want you to be mine
Baby, why can't you be my everything
Someone that I can believe
Someone to satisfy me
I need love
Someone who's faithful and true
Oh baby, can it be you
I need love

Lookin' at my Rollie, it's about that time
Checking my Rolex watch, it's time for SWV to drop a hit song
Playa's talk the talk but they can't walk it
People say things, but can't back it up with action
We make the whole country bounce when we New York it
Our music makes people dance across the entire country, especially when we bring a New York sound to it
Don't speak about it, be about it
Don't just talk about doing something, actually do it
Seein' Puff on your tube, feelin' weak about it
Watching Puff Daddy on TV makes some people feel intimidated or weak
I got the skill of an actor, wind chill factor
Puff Daddy has the talent of an actor and can create a cool vibe
Minus five five, coolest man alive
Being metaphorically 'cooler' than the cold temperature of -55 degrees Celsius
Baby, who dat is? Oh, that's just Puff Daddy
Some people are amazed by Puff Daddy and his success
Keep you on my mind, like I keep me on my shine
Keeping someone or something important in your thoughts, just like keeping your own self looking good
And I feel fine, sex real time
Feeling good and in the moment during sexual activities
While I'm in your deck on rewind
While my music is played repeatedly and you can't stop listening to it
Oh I make it hot, till you're jellin' what PD got
Making music so good that it's envied by others, until they want to have what Puff Daddy has
Since PD rock, see me not
Ever since Puff Daddy started making music, my presence has become less noticeable
So many bricks I build a tenement
Having a lot of money or success, building a large building to house many people
We'll do the freaky thing baby girl, if you're into it
We can engage in sexual activities, if that's something you want
I'm looking for a lover that can make a sacrifice
Searching for a partner who is willing to make sacrifices for the sake of the relationship
A lover that will understand, will always be by my side
A partner who is loyal and always there to support me
I pray the Lord so I can find my Mr. Right
Asking for divine help to find the perfect partner
So who can it be the one for me, I need
Wondering who the perfect partner could be, feeling a need to find them
Someone that I can believe, someone to satisfy me, I need love
Someone trustworthy and fulfilling, who can provide love and companionship
Oh, can it be that you're the one
Questioning if the person in question could be the perfect partner for you
And I've been too blind to see
Feeling like you didn't see the potential perfect partner until now
You're everything I'll ever need
Feeling like the person in question has all the qualities you could want in a partner
Someone will love me for me
Having the hope that someone will accept and love you for who you are
I want to know, I want to see, my destiny
Desiring to know and see what your future holds, especially in regards to romantic relationships
If your love is true I'll love you too, 'cause I need
If the potential partner's love is genuine, then the singer will return it, because they need love too
You could be the one, love of a lifetime
Asking if the person in question could be the ultimate romantic partner
Want you to be mine, baby, why can't you be my everything
Desiring the person in question to be exclusive, and wondering why they can't fulfill all romantic needs
They be bumpin' in the clubs
People are dancing to SWV's music in nightclubs
Can we get freaky tonight, sho' 'nuff
Asking if the potential partner is willing to engage in sexual activities
Puff and J-Dub, platinum stats, plush oriental rugs, and platinum plaques
Puff Daddy and Jermaine Dupri are successful producers with many platinum records and luxurious items
