Somebody To Love
Vera Bolten & Teen Queens Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

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

I work hard every day of my life
I work till I ache my bones
At the end I take home my hard earned pay all on my own
I get down on my knees
And I start to pray
Till the tears run down from my eyes
Lord, somebody, somebody
Can anybody find me, somebody to love?

(He works hard)
Everyday, I try and I try and I try
But everybody wants to put me down
They say I'm goin' crazy
They say I got a lot of water in my brain
Got no common sense
I got nobody left to believe
Yeah, yeah yeah yeah

Oh Lord
Somebody, somebody
Can anybody find me somebody to love?

Got no feel, I got no rhythm
I just keep losing my beat
I'm O.K., I'm alright
Ain't gonna face no defeat
I just gotta get out of this prison cell
Someday I'm gonna be free, Lord!





Find me somebody to love
Can anybody find me somebody to love?

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Vera Bolten & Teen Queens's song "Somebody to Love" express a deep longing and desperation for love and companionship. The singer feels lonely and empty, continuously seeking someone who can fulfill this void in their life. The opening lines, "Can anybody find me somebody to love?/ Each morning I get up I die a little," convey a sense of despair and the heaviness felt every day. They struggle to stand strong and find solace, only to confront their reflection in the mirror, which leads them to cry and question the purpose of their suffering.


The lyrics continue to emphasize the depth of their longing as the singer believes they have dedicated their entire life to searching for someone to love, but have been unable to find any relief or happiness. This frustration is evident in the plea, "Lord, somebody, somebody/ Can anybody find me somebody to love?" They pour their heart into their work, to the point of exhaustion and physical pain, only to face the harsh reality of being alone with no support system. The mention of praying and shedding tears showcases their desperation for a divine intervention or a sign of hope.


The following verses tackle the singer's struggle with societal judgment and the feeling of being misunderstood. They express that despite their efforts, people seem determined to bring them down and label them as crazy or lacking common sense. The line "I got nobody left to believe" highlights the isolation they feel, as if they have been abandoned by everyone they once trusted. The repetition of "somebody" in different parts of the song reinforces the plea for love, acceptance, and a sense of belonging.


Overall, "Somebody to Love" reflects the universal yearning for connection and the human need to be loved and understood. It captures the feelings of loneliness, frustration, and the desperation to break free from the confinement of emptiness.
