Someone to Love Me
Discovering Love's Triumph: Solomon Burke's Journey
Lyrics
You made me love you
You caused me to fall in love with you
You played me for a fool
You deceived or tricked me
Told me so may little things yes, you did
You said many endearing things, like it was a simple matter
Like going to school
Comparing the affectionate things to attending school, implying it was foundational
Took my heart, think about it
You took my heart into consideration
Turned it upside down
You completely changed its state or condition
Walked away and left me
You departed and abandoned me
You didn't even smile or frown
You didn't show any emotion; neither smiled nor frowned
Told all our friends
You informed everyone in our circle
That our love was through
You declared our relationship was over
You had the nerve to come to the dance
You audaciously attended a social event with someone new
With somebody new but listen to me, baby
The singer emphasizes the point but consoles the partner
You thought you had me fooled, baby
You believed you had fooled or deceived me
But let me tell you the surprise
But now, a revelation or unexpected truth
I found myself somebody
I discovered someone new for myself
I finally opened up my eyes
I've finally realized the reality or truth of the situation
And that's why I can sing tonight
The reason for the singer's joyful expression tonight
I finally found oh yes, I did
I eventually found, indeed
Someone to love me, oh yes
Someone who loves and cares for me
Someone to love me, now listen
Reiterating the discovery of someone who loves the singer
Let me tell you all about my baby
Describing the newfound love interest
I found myself somebody
The singer found a new partner
That knows my do's and my don'ts
Who understands the singer's preferences and limits
I said I found myself somebody
Reaffirming finding a partner who comprehends desires and aversions
Who knows my wills or my won'ts, baby
Affirmation of discovering someone tonight
I found myself somebody this evening
Expressing the impact on the singer's inner being
She touched my soul
Describing a profound emotional connection
I finally found myself somebody
Emphasizing the discovery of someone finally
That gives me what I want when I want it
Who provides the singer's desires promptly and accurately
How I want it everytime I think I want it
The manner in which the singer wants things fulfilled, every time they desire
