Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I need someone whoa how I need someone
I need someone, someone like you, you, you
Today my love has gone away
He won't be back he wants it that way
An' I need someone to take his place
He promised me he would be true
Yeah, he said I love no one but you
But here I stand, I'm all alone
With nothin' to do but to stay at home
An' I need someone, oh how I need someone
Yes, and I need someone, someone like you, you, you
Yeah, we used to travel all around an' around
Yeah, we always went from town to town
But since my baby been gone away
I haven't had haven't had a happy day
Even though we were together for so long
I can't imagine what went wrong
Here we are so far apart
And now he's thinking that he's so smart
I need someone, oh how I need someone
Yes, and I need someone, someone like you, you, you
Oh, oh I need someone
Yeah, I really need someone
I need someone like you
Oh yes, I do baby
I need someone, oh how I need someone
Yes, and I need someone, someone like you, you, you

@Romans219
So many adore Elizabeth. Great lady great voice
@micahisgod5898
Musically, the Jets could have easily transitioned into the 90's and beyond.
@juneberry1982
@L Whitted it was that grunge garbage that sadly put a stop to all the great music of the 80s. At least we can still enjoy it here.
@stevenqbosell
@L Whitted New Edition had albums in the 90's. Don't blame rap and hip hop, music always changes through the decades. Heck, disco took out that doo wop sound, that doo wop sound took out bug band.... its all a cycle!
@Lishmaa
Awww this song is amazing. How sweet that the video clip is recorded in Tonga, which is where The Jets are from. I'm a young person with an a old soul, they really don't make music like they use to.
