I Need Someone
Craving Love: Unveiling the Yearning in Lenny Welch's 'I Need Someone'
Lyrics
I know I know I need someone
I am aware that I need companionship or a relationship.
Someone to hold each night
Desiring someone to be with and provide comfort during the night.
Someone to squeeze real real tight
Expressing a desire for close physical intimacy and affection.
Darling can that someone be you
Asking if the person being addressed can fulfill the role of a romantic partner.
I know I know I need someone
Reiteration of the need for companionship or a relationship.
Someone to love each day
Desiring someone to love consistently on a daily basis.
Even though dark clouds come our way
Expressing commitment despite potential challenges or difficulties.
Darling can that someone be you
Asking again if the person can be the desired romantic partner.
I don't know what it was that got me this way
Expressing uncertainty about the cause of current emotions.
Maybe it's because your so sweet and kind
Suggesting that the sweetness and kindness of the person may be a factor.
Or maybe it was the night I held you so tight
Recalling a specific moment of holding the person tightly, possibly significant or memorable.
Or it could be my heart knows more than I
Considering the possibility that emotions are guided by an intuitive understanding of the heart.
It knows it knows I need someone
Affirming the realization that companionship or a relationship is needed.
Someone to hold each night
Reiterating the desire for someone to hold during the night.
Someone to squeeze real real tight
Reiterating the desire for close physical intimacy and affection.
Darling can that someone be you
Asking once more if the person can fulfill the role of a romantic partner.
I know I know I need someone
Reaffirming the awareness of the need for companionship or a relationship.
Someone to hold each night
Reiterating the desire for someone to hold during the night.
Someone to squeeze real real tight
Reiterating the desire for close physical intimacy and affection.
Darling can that someone be you
Asking one final time if the person can be the desired romantic partner.
