You’re Nobody ’Til Somebody Loves You Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Long gone we're falling down but I'm loving how it tastes
I look around for desire, love run away
Hold back, we're falling down, and I show you how it breaks
If I can give it, I'll take it, all of the way
And I've got a lot left to learn, babe

[Chorus]
You're nobody 'til somebody loves you
It's hard times when nobody wants you
Fill up my cup, don't ever stop coming
Get up on top, we'll make it pop, honey
You're nobody 'til somebody loves you
It's a cold heart, when nobody holds you
Fill up my cup, don't ever stop coming
Get up on top, we'll make it pop, honey

[Verse 2]
The cold start coming down
I was way above the place
I wear it all for the day, now the day comes for me
When I look back we're falling down, you live with a break
You'd always give it, I take it, all the way
We've still got so much to learn, babe

[Chorus]
You're nobody 'til somebody loves you
It's hard times when nobody wants you
Fill up my cup, don't ever stop coming
Get up on top, we'll make it pop, honey
You're nobody 'til somebody loves you
It's a cold heart, when nobody holds you
Fill up my cup, don't ever stop coming
Get up on top, we'll make it pop, honey
[Bridge]
Don't you stop me
I will get what's coming to me
I am ready baby
I will be somebody
Don't you stop me
I will get what's coming to me
I am ready baby
I will be somebody

[Chorus]
You're nobody 'til somebody loves you
It's hard times when nobody wants you
Fill up my cup, don't ever stop coming
Get up on top, we'll make it pop, honey
You're nobody 'til somebody loves you
It's a cold heart, when nobody holds you
Fill up my cup, don't ever stop coming
Get up on top, we'll make it pop, honey

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
