Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Can anybody find me somebody to love
Ooh, each morning I get up I die a little
Can barely stand on my feet
(Take a look at yourself) Take a look in the mirror and cry (and cry)
Lord what you're doing to me (yeah yeah)
I have spent all my years in believing you
But I just can't get no relief, Lord!
Somebody (somebody) ooh somebody (somebody)
Can anybody find me somebody to love?

Yeah
I work hard (he works hard) every day of my life
I work till I ache in my bones
At the end (at the end of the day)
I take home my hard earned pay all on my own
I get down (down) on my knees (knees)
And I start to pray
Till the tears run down from my eyes
Lord somebody (somebody), ooh somebody
(Please) 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
They say I'm going crazy
They say I got a lot of water in my brain
Ah, got no common sense
I got nobody left to believe in
Yeah yeah yeah yeah

Oh Lord
Ooh somebody ooh somebody
Can anybody find me somebody to love?
(Can anybody find me someone to love)

Got no feel, I got no rhythm
I just keep losing my beat (You just keep losing and losing)
I'm OK, 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
One day (someday) I'm gonna be free, Lord!

Find me somebody to love
Find me somebody to love

Overall Meaning

The Royal Philharmonic Orchestra's "Somebody to Love" is a soulful song about the search for true love. The song's protagonist is overwhelmed by the loneliness and hardship of life without true love. Each morning, he wakes up and "dies a little" because he cannot find someone to share his life with. He's spent his life believing that he would eventually find someone to love, but instead, he's left feeling hopeless and lost. He works hard every day, but he still comes home to an empty life. He prays for somebody to love, but nobody is listening.


The song's emotional appeal lies in the singer's passionate delivery of each lyric. The Royal Philharmonic Orchestra manages to capture the raw heartache, emotion, and soul of the song, leaving the listener feeling empathetic towards the song's protagonist. The repetition of the lyrics, "somebody find me, somebody to love," emphasize the singer's desperation and desire for a meaningful relationship. Despite the sadness, the song's catchy melody and the powerful performance of the orchestra, makes it uplifting and timeless.
