Somebody Loving You
Navigating Love's Maze: Somebody Loving You by The Lemon Twigs
Lyrics
I told you not to wait for me to come home
I advised you not to wait for my return
To love another's worse than being alone
To love someone else is more painful than being alone
She said through the phone
She communicated this message over the phone
Talking and talking away
Engaged in a conversation that seemed endless
I didn't hear a single word that she said
I didn't pay attention to a single word she spoke
Her heart remained with me while mine was in bed
Her emotional connection remained with me while I was physically elsewhere
With some other head
Physically involved with someone else
Lying a pillow away
Lying just a pillow away from the person I'm with
You can't handle somebody loving you
It's challenging to handle someone loving you
I can't hear you with my fingers in my eardrums
I can't hear you due to self-imposed deafness
You can't catch someone who relies on you
You can't capture someone who depends on you
I can't fear what I've never experienced
I can't be afraid of something I've never experienced
I live with someone but it's always been me
I share my life with someone, but it's always been about me
I closed my heart so I could have you for free
I closed my heart to be available to you without emotional attachment
Unchained but not free
Free from commitment but not truly free
A weed in a garden divine
Metaphorically, I am an unwanted presence in a divine space
I should feel one with all but now I'm just one
I should feel connected to everything, but now I feel isolated
I'll either find my love or find me some fun
I will either find true love or engage in some enjoyable activities
Nothing I've done is bringing me closer at all
None of my actions are bringing me closer to what I desire
You can't handle somebody loving you
It's difficult to handle someone loving you
I can't hear you with my fingers in my eardrums
I can't hear you because I'm intentionally blocking out external influences
You can't catch someone who relies on you
You can't possess someone who depends on you
I can't fear what I've never experienced
I can't fear something I've never encountered
You can't handle somebody loving you
Dealing with someone loving you is a challenge
I can't hear you with my fingers in my eardrums
My self-imposed deafness prevents me from hearing you
You can't catch someone who relies on you
You can't capture someone who relies on you
I can't fear what I've never experienced
I can't be afraid of something I've never experienced
You can't handle somebody loving you
Handling someone loving you is not easy
I can't hear you with my fingers in my eardrums
I can't hear you due to my intentional deafness
You can't catch someone who relies on you
You can't catch someone who depends on you
I can't fear what I've never experienced
I can't fear something I've never encountered
