Need Somebody
Craving Connection: Marvin Gaye's Quest for Love in 'Need Somebody'
Lyrics
Oh well
Expression of resignation or acceptance of a situation.
I'm the kind of guy that always needs
Characterizing oneself as someone who always needs companionship.
Somebody oh well
Reiteration of the desire for a companion or partner.
I'm the kind of guy that tries to keep me
Emphasizing the effort to maintain personal well-being.
Someone oh, somebody
Expressing the need for a specific, meaningful person in life.
Someone to walk with to talk with
Desire for someone to share experiences, both joys and troubles.
Tell all my troubles to somebody
Seeking comfort and solace by confiding in a trusted person.
Hey angel won't you tell me when you
Addressing a person affectionately as an angel and seeking communication.
When you get ready i'll give you love
Waiting for the person to express readiness to receive love.
Love like you never had before
Promising a love that surpasses any previous experiences.
I'll give you everything I got
Promising to give everything one has to offer in the relationship.
If you tell me that you'll be my
Conditioning the commitment on the partner reciprocating.
I'll give you everything I got oh, yeah
Reiterating the commitment to giving everything in the relationship.
Have you ever had a feeling
Reflecting on a familiar feeling of wanting to hold someone close.
That you wanna hold
Expressing the desire for physical closeness with someone special.
Somebody
Reiterating the need for a significant other.
Baby I got that feeling, I got to hold
Confirming the intense feeling of wanting to hold someone.
Somebody
(No specific lyrics)
Someone to stand by me try me
Desiring someone to support and stand by, willing to be tested.
I'll never let you down
Promising unwavering loyalty and support.
