I've Found Someone of My Own
The Free Movement Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
While I was having my coffee
My woman came in
Sat down by my side
With tears in her eyes
She said, :I have a confession to make"
And I said, â??Woman,
Speak what's on your mindâ??
She said, â??I found somebody new
To take your placeâ??
I said, â??Don't feel so all alone
I found someone of my ownâ??
On those lonely nights
You left me all alone
Oh my new love would call
And comfort me on the phone
And I said, â??Woman
If that's the way it's gotta be,
Then darlin'
Don't you worry â??bout meâ??
She said, â??I found somebody new
To take your placeâ??
I said, â??Don't feel so all alone
I found someone of my ownâ??
I got up form the table
I reached down and wiped the tears from her face
I put out my cigarette
Turned and walked away
She said, â??I found somebody new
To take your placeâ??
I said, â??Don't feel so all alone
I found someone of my ownâ??
The Free Movement’s song “I’ve Found Someone of My Own” tells a story of a man who has been cheated on by his woman, but instead of mourning his loss, he declares he has found someone of his own. The song follows the conversation between the two with the woman's confession that she has found someone new. The man responds with a calm magnanimity, proving that he has already moved on. He reveals that he had already found someone else to take her place during those lonely nights.
The lyrics of the song portray a sense of independence and self-worth. The man in this song shows that he is not bothered by her leaving him because he has found someone who loves him for who he is. He won't settle for anything less than someone who truly wants him. The song also seems to suggest that revenge is best served by moving on and not letting the past define the future.
One interesting fact about “I’ve Found Someone of My Own” is that the band The Free Movement was originally formed by members of several other bands, including The Soul Agents and The Sons of Adam. Another interesting fact is that the song was written by the brothers Frank and Dino DeVol, who were known for their work in Hollywood as film score composers. Additionally, the song was a hit in the 1970s, reaching the number five spot on the Billboard Hot 100 chart in the United States.

I got up this morning
I woke up and started my day, just like any other day
While I was having my coffee
At that particular moment, I was in the process of enjoying a cup of coffee
My woman came in
My significant other entered the room
Sat down by my side
She took a seat next to me
With tears in her eyes
She had been crying, and her eyes were still red and wet
She said, 'I have a confession to make'
She had something important to tell me, something she felt guilty about
And I said, 'Woman, Speak what's on your mind'
I encouraged her to be honest with me, to share whatever was troubling her
She said, 'I found somebody new To take your place'
She had begun seeing someone else, someone she saw as a replacement for me
I said, 'Don't feel so all alone I found someone of my own'
I acknowledged that I too had started seeing someone new, someone who made me feel happy and loved
On those lonely nights You left me all alone
During those times when she wasn't with me, and I felt lonely and sad
Oh my new love would call And comfort me on the phone
My new partner would reach out to me, offer support and encouragement, just through a phone call
And I said, 'Woman If that's the way it's gotta be, Then darlin' Don't you worry â??bout me'
I accepted that things had changed between us, that she was moving on, and despite any hurt or pain, I would be okay
I got up form the table I reached down and wiped the tears from her face I put out my cigarette Turned and walked away
I comforted her in her time of distress, but ultimately, I had to leave and move forward with my own life
She said, 'I found somebody new To take your place'
Despite my reassurances, she was still seeing this new person as a way to replace me
I said, 'Don't feel so all alone I found someone of my own'
Once again, I reminded her that I had also found someone else, someone who had become important to me, and that I wasn't alone or without love

The 60’s, 70’s and 80’s were just remarkable for the entire music industry! Those era’s will never come around again, and, that music will never, ever disappear!

I Love this song. One night my husband and I were just listening to the songs we grew up with. After listening for awhile I told him to find it and play it. He did and after the song was over he said, do you have to tell me something? I said I just love this song and if I had no feelings for you after being married for 40 years, Why would I still be here? He was relieved. Lol
@jackieguccione94
