If I Needed Someone
Love's Call: Finding Meaning in 'If I Needed Someone'
Lyrics
If I needed someone to love
If the speaker required affection or someone to care for
You're the one that I'd be thinking of
The person addressed is the one the speaker would consider
If I needed someone
Reiterating the need for someone in the speaker's life
If I had some more time to spend
If the speaker had more available time
Then I guess I'd be with you my friend
The speaker would likely spend that time with the addressed person
If I needed someone
Restating the desire for companionship or a relationship
Had you come some other day
Had the addressed person arrived on a different day
Then it might not have been like this
The outcome might have been different
But you see now I'm too much in love
However, presently, the speaker is deeply in love
Carve your number on my wall
Symbolically leaving a mark of the addressed person's contact information
And maybe you will get a call from me
Suggesting a potential future communication or connection
If I needed someone
Reiterating the potential need for someone in the speaker's life
Ah, ah, ah, ah
A vocalization expressing emotional resonance or emphasis
If I had some more time to spend
If the speaker had more available time
Then I guess I'd be with you my friend
The speaker would likely spend that time with the addressed person
If I needed someone
Reiterating the desire for companionship or a relationship
Had you come some other day
Had the addressed person arrived on a different day
Then it might not have been like this
The outcome might have been different
But you see now I'm too much in love
However, presently, the speaker is deeply in love
Carve your number on my wall
Symbolically leaving a mark of the addressed person's contact information
And maybe you will get a call from me
Suggesting a potential future communication or connection
If I needed someone
Reiterating the potential need for someone in the speaker's life
Ah, ah
A vocalization expressing emotional resonance or emphasis
