The Id Feat. Jeff St. John Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Can barely stand on my feet
(Take at a look at yourself) take a look in the mirror and cry (and cry)
Lord what are you doing to me (yeah, yeah)
I have spent all my years in believing you (oooh, oooh, believing you)
But I just can't get no relief, Lord
Somebody (somebody), ooh somebody (somebody)
Can anybody find me somebody to love
I work hard (he works hard) every day of my life
I work till I ache my bones
At the end (at the end of the day)
I take home my hard earned pay all on my own
I go down (down) on my knees (knees)
And I start to pray (praise the lord)
Till the tears run down from my eyes (oooh, oooh, oooh)
Lord - somebody (somebody) ooh somebody (somebody)
Can anybody find me
Somebody to love
(He works hard)
Everyday (everyday) - I try and I try and I try
But everybody wants to put me down (oooooh)
They say I'm going crazy (oooooh)
They say I got a lot of water in my brain (ooooh)
Oh, they got no common sense
He's got nobody left to believe in
(Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)
Oooh, oooh, oooh
Ooh, somebody, ooh (somebody)
Anybody find me somebody to love
(Can't anybody find me someone to love)
I got no feel, I've got no rhythm
I just keep losing my beat (you just keep losing and losing)
I'm alright, I'm alright (he's alright, he's alright)
I ain't gonna face no defeat (yeah, yeah)
I just gotta get out of this prison cell (oooh, oooh, this prison cell)
Someday I'm gonna be free, Lord!
George: I wanna hear every single person, see every single pair of hands. Three, four
Find me somebody to love, find me somebody to love

Love
The lyrics of "Somebody to Love" talk about a tough little sister who is looking for love in all the wrong places. The singer warns her about the dangers of settling for just any man and encourages her to find the right person to love. The opening lines describe the path she is cutting and the doors she is shutting. This suggests that she is making some rather hasty decisions which might eventually lead to problems. The singer admits that baby loving her has been hard on him, maybe because he has seen some of the consequences of her choices.
The lyrics go on to describe the tough little sister as someone who is looking for the perfect man but is settling for Mr. Right-now because she is running out of time. The singer tries to tell her that she needs to be careful, that she is going to push it just a little too far one night. He talks about her wild eyes, her undernourished skin, and her tendency to overfeed. All of these suggest that the tough little sister is not taking good care of herself and may, in fact, be engaging in risky behavior.
Overall, "Somebody to Love" is a cautionary tale about the dangers of settling for less when it comes to love. It reminds us that love is something that should be cherished and nurtured, not taken for granted. The singer warns the tough little sister that it is better to wait for the right person than to settle for someone who is not good for her. The song urges us all to love somebody before it's too late.
Line by Line Meaning
I can see the path you're cutting
I can perceive the choices you're making
It cost me a little piece of my heart
It's painful for me to see you making those choices
I can see the doors you're shutting
I can see the opportunities you're rejecting
Cause they were open at the start
Because those same opportunities were available before
Baby loving you has been hard on me
It's been difficult for me to be with you
You're such a tough little sister
You have a strong will and personality
Just looking for Mr. Right
You're searching for the perfect partner
On the wrong side of town
You're searching in the wrong places
You better love somebody, it's late
You should find someone to love soon, time is running out
You better love somebody, don't wait
Don't postpone finding love
You better love somebody, don't tempt fate
Don't push your luck and risk being alone
You're gonna push it just a little too far
You're going to take things too far
One night
An abrupt ending is coming if you don't find love soon
your eyes are wild, your skin's so white
Your appearance is unhealthy and you look distressed
You're undernourished and overfed
You're not taking care of yourself properly
She's got the teeth, she knows how to bite
She's tough and aggressive
Cause when you bit I bled
Your behavior has hurt me
You got some perfect image
You have unrealistic expectations
Of the perfect man
You're looking for an ideal partner
But you'll settle for a mister tonight
You're willing to compromise for someone, anyone
But you're running out of time
You're short of the time needed
I'm only saying what I feel
I'm expressing my honest thoughts and feelings
You think I'm wrong I know
You don't agree with me, but I'm confident in my viewpoint
You thought I was sleeping at the wheel
You accused me of being unaware or indifferent
I thought that you were driving
But I believe you're the one directing our relationship
