Somebody To Love
The Minors Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

There's a light
A certain kind of light
That never shone on me
I want my life to be lived with you
Lived with you
There's a way everybody say
To do each and every little thing
But what does it bring
If I ain't got you, ain't got?

You don't know what it's like, baby
You don't know what it's like

To love somebody
To love somebody
The way I love you

In my brain
I see your face again
I know my frame of mind
You ain't got to be so blind
And I'm blind, so, so, so blind
I'm a man
Can't you see what I am?
I live and I breathe for you
But what good does it do
If I ain't got you, ain't got?

You don't know what it's like, baby
You don't know what it's like

To love somebody
To love somebody
The way I love you

You don't know what it's like, baby
You don't know what it's like

To love somebody
To love somebody
The way I love you

You don't know what it's like, baby




You don't know what it's like
To love somebody

Overall Meaning

In "Somebody to Love," The Minors express the agony of unrequited love. The song has an upbeat melody that contrasts sharply with the lyrics that express the pain and yearning for that special someone. The opening lines, "There's a light, a certain kind of light that never shone on me," indicate that the singer has not experienced love before. The song continues with the singer's desperate plea to find somebody to share his life with, someone who can light up his world. The chorus repeats the line, "To love somebody, the way I love you," highlighting the intensity of the singer's emotions.


In the second verse, the singer's mind is consumed with thoughts of the person he loves, and he can't escape his feelings. He's blind to everything else going on around him because his focus is solely on his unrequited love. Despite his declaration of love and the sacrifices he's made, he is still alone, and his love remains unreturned. The chorus repeats again, driving home the pain of loving someone who doesn't return the same level of affection.


Overall, "Somebody to Love" is a powerful song about the pain and yearning of love. The upbeat melody makes it a catchy tune, but the lyrics and their emotional weight make it resonate deeply with listeners. The sorrowful words evoke empathy in those who have experienced such a loss and speaks to the universal need for human connection.
