Total Touch Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Oh, tell me you're the one.
I've been looking for someone like you,
Oh, tell me you're the one.
I never knew how much I felt for you,
Until you came walking into my life.
See I've been looking for somebody to love me,
I've been looking for someone like you,
Oh, tell me you're the one.
I've been looking for someone like you,
Oh, tell me you're the one.
If you take a look at me I'm so sure you'll see,
That I'm all you need and more.
I want you here by my side, it's only right,
'Cause it's you I've been looking for.
I've been looking for someone like you,
Oh, tell me you're the one.
I've been looking for someone like you,
Oh, tell me you're the one.
Where did you go when I needed you most,
It's not the same without you.
I need you here by my side so stay close,
I'm not the same without you.
I've been looking for someone like you,
Oh, tell me you're the one.
I've been looking for someone like you,
Oh, tell me you're the one.
In my heart I always knew you'd be the one,
Why can't you see that you're the only one for me?
I've been looking for you.
I've been looking for someone like you,
Oh, tell me you're the one.
I've been looking for someone like you,
Oh, tell me you're the one.
The song "Someone like you" by Total Touch is a romantic ballad about finding someone who truly completes you. The lyrics express the feeling of longing for that special person who has not yet been found, and the hope that the person being spoken to is the one they have been searching for. The first verse sets the tone for the rest of the song, as the singer repeats the phrase "I've been looking for someone like you" and asks the person to confirm that they are indeed the one.
The second verse describes how the singer never realized how much they felt for this person until they came into their life, indicating that the person has had a profound impact on their life. The singer is seeking someone to love, and they believe that the person they are speaking to may be the one they have been searching for. The chorus repeats the opening lines, emphasizing the urgency of finding this person.
The bridge is a plea to the person to understand that they are the missing piece in the singer's life. The line "Where did you go when I needed you most" suggests that the person has been absent before, and their presence is critical to the singer's well-being. The final verse expresses the singer's conviction that this person is the one they have been looking for all along, and asks them to see that they are the only one for the singer.
