Everybody Wants Somebody

I, tonight, I feel like being alone If you don't mind, if you don't mind Would you please be so kind To close the door behind you

It's been a long, long time Since I've had this line of doubt Out loud

So I deny I feel like I feel like, I feel, baby now

Everybody wants somebody Who doesn't want them, Or wants somebody else, baby You want somebody? Oh, you want someone? Somebody else, somebody else

Listen up Don't get hurt, don't you get hurt Don't get hurt, don't you get Don't get hurt, don't you get hurt Don't get hurt, don't you get

A young man is a pull pin Looking for a grenade, yeah A young woman will drive you places You never meant to go But epiphany is such a cliche Well, there's plenty of fish in the wrong sea Like there's a premium on mystery again

Hold me, distract me Dress me up in bubbles, baby Save me from the troubles Of my own skin, yeah

Everybody wants somebody Who doesn't want them Or wants somebody else, baby You want somebody? Oh, you want someone? Somebody else, somebody else

Listen up Don't get hurt, don't you get hurt Don't get hurt, don't you get Don't get hurt, don't you get hurt Don't get hurt, don't you get

So I, tonight, I feel like I feel like, I feel

Everybody wants somebody Who doesn't want them Or wants somebody else, baby You want somebody? Oh, you want someone? Somebody else, somebody else (Somebody, somebody)

Don't get hurt, don't you get hurt Don't get hurt, don't you get Don't get hurt, don't you get hurt Don't get hurt, don't you get

Everybody Everybody wants somebody Who doesn't want them Or wants somebody else, baby You want somebody? Oh, you want someone? Somebody else, somebody else

The song is basically about how some people "like" or have feelings for other people, but the ones they like don't ever like them back, and maybe someone likes the singer, but he doesn't like them. It's just a way of saying we don't always get the people we "like" or have feelings for. "Don't you get hurt" simply means to be careful and not put yourself out there too much, and an even deeper interpretation is to maybe give a person that likes you, but you just think is "okay", a chance to be with you, but in the end, be sure to be careful and don't let your guard down easily.
