Monroe sang with some of the "Big Bands" of the '40s era, but his music transcended that style to become a popular radio and television personality - like Perry Como, Dean Martin, etc.
Someday
Vaughn Monroe Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
When I'm in love with somebody else
You expect me to be true
And to keep on loving you
Though I am feeling blue
You think I can't forget you
When I am strong for somebody new (for somebody new)
And though you don't want me now
I'll get along somehow
And then I won't want you
(Someday you'll want me and long for me, dear
But I won't be there)
I know that someday you'll want me to want you
When I am strong for somebody new
And though you don't want me now
I'll get along somehow
And then I won't want you
And then I won't want you
The song “Someday” by Vaughn Monroe is a classic ballad about unrequited love and the heartbreak that comes with it. In the song, the singer is telling a former lover that someday they will want him back, but by then it will be too late.
The lyrics “I know that someday you'll want me to want you / When I'm in love with somebody else” express how the singer expects the former lover to want him back at a time when he has moved on and found love with another person. The line “Until someday you'll want me to want you / When I am strong for somebody new” suggests that the singer has already let go of their former lover and has found someone new. The repetition of the line “And though you don't want me now / I'll get along somehow / And then I won't want you” emphasizes the singer's determination to move on from this old love and not look back.
Overall, the song is a bittersweet reminder of the unpredictable nature of love and how sometimes it takes time to realize what is truly valuable.

I know that someday you'll want me to want you
I am aware that one day you will desire for me to have feelings for you
When I'm in love with somebody else
Despite being attached to someone else at the time
You expect me to be true
You assume I will remain loyal to this relationship
And to keep on loving you
And continue to love you despite any obstacles
Though I am feeling blue
Even when I am sad and melancholic
You think I can't forget you
You believe that I won't be able to move on from you
Until someday you'll want me to want you
Until the inevitable moment when you want me to love you back
When I am strong for somebody new (for somebody new)
When I muster the courage to fall in love with someone else
And though you don't want me now
Even if you do not want me at this moment in time
I'll get along somehow
I will manage to continue living my life
And then I won't want you
And I will stop harboring any feelings for you
(Someday you'll want me and long for me, dear
(At some point in the future, you will crave for me, darling
But I won't be there)
But I will not be available for you anymore.
