Somebody To Love You
Wynonna Judd Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You need a nice warm place to stay
A sense of humor 'cause life is funny
A big stick to keep the wolf away
You need a car with good tires on it
The right place to eat barbecue
A heavy duty set of jumper cables
And no holes in you walkin' shoes
Is a fertile place to plant your seed, boy
[Chorus]
You got to find somebody to love you
Someone to be there for you night and day
Someone to share it with and be part of you
Love ain't no good till you give it away
You got to give it away
I recommend you get some life insurance and be prepared to dial 911
Pay close attention to your high blood pressure
And stay away from the man with the gun
You need a reason to get up in the mornin'
Make sure your clock has got a snooze control
Be sure you got a place to run for cover
Cause overnight things can sure get cold
you're gonna find that sooner or later
You need a common denominator
[Chorus]
The lyrics of "Somebody To Love You" by Wynonna Judd are a list of things a person needs to have a good life. The first stanza mentions material things like a job, a home, a sense of humor, a car, good tires, the right place to eat barbecue, and jumper cables. But the song is not just about material possessions; the second stanza opens by talking about the need for life insurance and staying away from danger. The rest of the stanza highlights the need for emotional and mental well-being as well. The singer emphasizes the need to find a reason to get up in the morning, have a snooze control on the alarm, find a place to run for cover when times get tough, and finally, find a common denominator.
The chorus is the highlight of the song, with the repeated message that "you got to find somebody to love you." It emphasizes that life is incomplete without someone to love and be loved by. The chorus also mentions the need for someone to be there for you night and day, to share things with and to be part of you. The phrase "love ain't no good till you give it away" is repeated twice, perhaps to underline the importance of sharing love with others. Overall, the song conveys the message that we need material, emotional, and spiritual well-being to live a good life, but more than anything, we need someone to love and share our lives with.
