Somebody Lyrics

I bin lookin' for someone
Between the fire and the flame
We're all lookin' for somethin'
To ease the pain

Now who can you turn to
When it's all black 'n' white
And the winners are losers
You see it every night

I need somebody
Somebody like you
Everybody needs somebody

I need somebody
Hey what about you
Everybody needs somebody

When you're out on the front line
And you're watchin' them fall
Doesn't take long to realize
It ain't worth fightin' for

I thought I saw the Madonna
When you walked in the room
And your eyes were like diamonds
And they cut right through - Oh they cut right through

I need somebody
Somebody like you
Everybody needs somebody

I need somebody
Hey what about you
We all need somebody

Another night another lesson learned
It's the distance that keeps us sane
But when the silence leads to sorrow
We do it all again - all again

I need somebody
Somebody like you
Everybody needs somebody

I need somebody
Hey what about you
Everybody needs somebody

Have You Ever Really Loved A Woman?

I bin lookin' for someone 
Between the fire and the flame 
We're all lookin' for somethin' 
To ease the pain

Now who can you turn to 
When it's all black 'n' white 
And the winners are losers 
You see it every night

I need somebody 
Somebody like you 
Everybody needs somebody

I need somebody 
Hey what about you 
Everybody needs somebody

When you're out on the front line 
And you're watchin' them fall 
Doesn't take long to realize 
It ain't worth fightin' for

I thought I saw the Madonna 
When you walked in the room 
And your eyes were like diamonds 
And they cut right through - Oh they cut right through

I need somebody 
Somebody like you 
Everybody needs somebody

I need somebody 
Hey what about you 
We all need somebody

Another night another lesson learned 
It's the distance that keeps us sane 
But when the silence leads to sorrow 
We do it all again - all again

I need somebody 
Somebody like you 
Everybody needs somebody

I need somebody 
Hey what about you 
Everybody needs somebody

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

No comments come on people songs like this don't come around often. The emaning is straight forward about a guy that wants to find someone to love.
