Somebody (Remix) Lyrics
I want somebody to share, share the rest of my life
Share my innermost thoughts, know my intimate details
Someone who'll stand by my side and give me support
And in return, she'll get my support
She will listen to me when I want to speak
About the world we live in and life in general
Though my views may be wrong, they may even be perverted
She'll hear me out and won't easily be converted
To my way of thinking, in fact, she'll often disagree
But at the end of it all, she will understand me
[Verse 2]
I want somebody who cares for me passionately
With every thought and with every breath
Someone who'll help me see things in a different light
All the things I detest I will almost like
I don't want to be tied to anyone's strings
I'm carefully trying to steer clear of those things
But when I'm asleep I want somebody
Who will put their arms around me and kiss me tenderly
Though things like this make me sick
In a case like this, I'll get away with it
About

Somebody is taken from the album Some Great Reward. Somebody is the first single with Martin Gore as lead vocals, one of three to date (the others being A Question of Lust and Home).
The music videos was directed by Clive Richardson.
Song information:
Somebody, which was sung by Martin Gore in the studio in the nude, includes one of Gore’s little twists, where the song builds as if it’s a song about finding your perfect love, only to have him reveal at the end though things like this make me sick / in a case like this I’ll get away with it.
