Found Found Found Lyrics
Found found found
Found found found
Someone who's worth it
In this murkiness
Someone who's never
Seeming scheming
I've ...
Found found found
Found found found
Someone who's worth it
In this murkiness
Someone who's never
Seeming to be scheming
(Oh, but if I'd never found)
(Oh, but if I'd never found)
Oh, but if I'd never found
I do believe that
The more you give your love
And I do believe that
The more you give your trust
The more you give your trust
And the more you give your love
The more you're bound to lose
The more you're bound to lose
(Oh, but if I'd never found)
(Oh, but if I'd never found)
Somebody who wants to be
Who wants to be with me ...
...All the time
Found found found
Someone who's worth it
In this murkiness
Someone who's never
Seeming scheming
I've ...
Found found found
Found found found
Someone who's worth it
In this murkiness
Someone who's never
Seeming to be scheming
(Oh, but if I'd never found)
Oh, but if I'd never found
The more you give your love
And I do believe that
The more you give your trust
The more you give your trust
And the more you give your love
The more you're bound to lose
The more you're bound to lose
(Oh, but if I'd never found)
Somebody who wants to be
Who wants to be with me ...
...All the time

s0omone told me this song was about Michael Stipe from REM, but now that I read the lyrics it could be about anyone.
"...I do believe that the more you give your love, and I do believe that the more you offer trust ... the more you're bound to lose". -If Love Were All, by Noel Coward
Michael Stipe huh? Morrissey did say in an interview once that he was really amazed wheh Michael stood up for him re: the judge on the Smiths wages court case...or something.
No, it's not about Michael Stipe. That story only originated because someone misread an interview. Morrissey was asked about this song, then the next question the interviewer asked was about his friendship with Stipe. Neither the interviewer nor Morrissey made any connections between the song and Stipe. You can read the interview at the www.motorcycleaupairboy.com site (I can't remember which interview it is exactly). Johnny Rogan also explained in his book 'The Complete Guide to the Music of The Smiths and Morrissey / Marr' that that was how the misunderstanding originated.
in an interview he gave to an Italian magazine this year, Morrissey was asked if it was about Stipe, and he said no.

this song i think is about how nobodys perfect for anyone and thers no point of marage cuz ov it. the mor u put yirself out there the mor likly yir guna get hurt by sumone else. but we do it anyway cuz in ourselves, we r drugs to eachother. we love being with sumone [at least we think we do] cuz its what everyone does [and hormones...]
Despite the diabolical English (I'd really expect a greater level of literacy from a Morrissey fan!), this is a good interpretation.
