Someone
Stella Parton Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
To help me get over someone who got over me
Oh I need someone to kiss and make it all better
To put my poor heart back together
Ooh would you help me please
When love walked out of my life I thought I'd lost everything
But I find I'm wasting my time living in the past
I need someone to help me...
It tears me up love is so tragic
Gotta find someone who can make it magic
I need someone to help me...
Oh I need someone to help me...

The singer is looking for someone to "kiss and make it all better," someone who can mend a broken heart and help her move forward in life.

But she realizes that she needs to let go of the past and find someone new.

The Parton clan consistently produced very talented artists and Stella is not exception to that rule. She sounds uncannily like older sister Dolly on this very likable hit, although the fame of her legendary sibling may have overshadowed her music somewhat.
