Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I wonder who he can be
Somebody loves me, I wish I knew
Who can he be worries me
For every boy who passes me, I shout "Hey, maybe"
You were meant to be my loving baby, baby, oh
Somebody loves me, I wonder who
For every boy who passes me, I shout "Hey, maybe"
You were meant to be my loving baby, baby
Somebody loves me, I wonder who
Maybe, it's
Baby, it's
Maybe, baby, that somebody is you
The lyrics to The Nat King Cole Trio's song "Somebody Loves Me" reflect the feelings of someone who is wondering about the identity of a secret admirer. The song begins with the line "Somebody loves me, I wonder who," and the singer of the song expresses their desire to find out who this secret admirer might be. The lyrics reflect the inner thoughts and emotions of someone who is curious and maybe a little worried about what the revelation of their secret admirer's identity could mean for them. The song is a testament to the power of love and its ability to transform the ones we love and inspire us to be better versions of ourselves.
In the second verse of the song, the singer expresses their hope that the secret admirer is someone they know and trust. They shout "Hey, maybe!" to every boy who passes them, suggesting that they are open to the possibility that one of them might be their secret admirer. The singer imagines them as their "loving baby," a term of endearment that speaks to the idea that this love could be the one they have been searching for. The song is a romantic ballad that speaks to the universal desire to be loved and treasured by someone special.
