Somebody
Slightly Stoopid Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Oh yeah
(Try to get up, try to get up)
(Try to get up, try to get up)

Wait and see because you know you need somebody

I said, the lovin' you lost is just one of the costs
When you're livin' in the streets and you're runnin' from cops
And everyday, it's just the price you pay
When you're livin' by the words and the things you say

And if your mother only knew
That all these things you say you know are true

c'mon and a little woman, yes, the one you wanted
The type of woman leave you brokenhearted
Got the type of body that you can't ignore

Said, you got a lot of money but you can't afford
A little lovin' from the wrong side
Of the bed you sleepin' for the long night

Wait and see because you know you need somebody

(Try to get up)
Oh yeah, somebody
(Try to get up)
Oh yeah, somebody
(Try to get up)
Oh yeah
(Try to get up, please somebody)

You're sayin' that you're leavin', baby
I don't think that you're comin' back
And nothing's meant to last forever
Let me know what you think about that

'Cause taking time to think about it
Only means that you'll work it out
Said thinkin' that you need her
And what it's all about, c'mon and

If your mother only knew
That all the things you say you know are true

And if you're thinkin' that you need someone new
You'll have to wait and see because you know you need somebody

(Try to get up)
Oh yeah, somebody
(Try to get up)
Oh yeah, somebody
(Try to get up)




Oh yeah
(Try to get up, please somebody)
