Somebody to Love Remix (feat
Usher Lyrics

Oh ooh
A brief exclamation that sets the tone for the following lyrics.

For you I'd write a symphony
Expressing a willingness to go to great lengths to please a loved one.

I'd tell the violin
Addressing a musical instrument as a metaphor for the artist's creative voice.

It's time to sink or swim
Encouraging the violin to put forth its best effort to achieve its goals.

Watch 'em play for ya
Delighted to see the violin playing for the loved one's enjoyment.

For you I'd be (Whoa)
Continuing to emphasize the lengths to which one would go to please the loved one.

Runnin' a thousand miles
Portraying a willingness to travel large distances for the loved one.

Just get you where you are
Determined to reach the loved one's location, no matter the difficulty.

Step to the beat of my heart
Inviting the loved one to join in a harmonious partnership.

I don't need a whole lot but coming from you
Expressing contentment in relatively simple, modest pleasures so long as they are enjoyed alongside the loved one.

I admit I'd rather give you the world
Acknowledging the desire to provide great abundance and luxury to the loved one.

Or we can share mine
Suggesting that sharing what is already available can be just as valuable as extravagant gifts.

I know that I won't be the first one
Acknowledging the likelihood that others have shown the loved one attention before.

Given you all this attention
Demonstrating sincere investment in the loved one's well-being.

Baby listen
Appealing for the loved one's undivided attention in a gentle and affectionate way.

I just need somebody to love
Expressing the fundamental need for human connection and affection.

I-I don't need too much

Just need somebody to love

(Somebody to love)
Repeating the song's title to further emphasize its central theme.

I don't need nothing else
Asserting that material possessions and luxuries are not necessary to achieve happiness and contentment in a relationship.

I promise girl, I swear
Making a solemn promise to the loved one regarding the sincerity of the feelings being expressed.

I just need somebody to love.
Repeating the chorus to express the central theme and the artist's heartfelt longing for a romantic partner.

Everyday I bring the sun around

I sweep away the clouds

I would take
Beginning a vow to make an effort in every moment of the relationship.

Every second, every single time
Expressing a willingness to dedicate oneself fully to the relationship.

Spend it like my last dime
Financial metaphor indicating that the artist is willing to put forth maximum effort, as if each moment were a scarce resource.

I don't need a whole lot but coming from you

And you can have it all

Give you the finer things, yeah

Is she out there?

Is she out there?

I just need somebody to love
