Somebody Lyrics

[Intro]
Do, do-do, do-do
Do-do-do-do-do, do-do-do-do
Do, do-do, do-do
Do-do-do-do-do, do-do-do-do

[Verse 1]
You bring me summer every weekend
Like a rooftop in LA
When it heats up in the evenin'
You cool me off like lemonade
So don't go changin' like the seasons
'Cause you're perfect in every way
Baby, you got a love that's world leading
If you were running, I'd lead your campaign (Hey)

[Pre-Chorus]
Wake me up
You're the caffeine in my coffee cup
And like a shootin' star, you light me up
You're amazing

[Chorus]
'Cause we all need somebody
Evеn lonely hearts need somebody
So bеfore this love leaves your body
Give it away
So if you've got somebody
Let 'em know that they're your somebody
Little love never hurt nobody, hey
So you use your light and shine it like crazy
We got one life, let's make it amazin'
I love you, babe, you know that ain't changin'
You got, you got somebody who loves ya
You got, you got somebody who loves ya (Do, do-do, do-do)
[Post-Chorus]
Do-do-do-do-do, do-do-do-do
Do, do-do, do-do
Do-do-do-do-do, do-do-do-do

[Verse 2]
Baby, you and me, we got chemistry
Call it alchemy, call it what you want
I don't know what I believe in
But what a time to be livin' and breathin'
And I got a feelin' that we're here for the same thing

[Pre-Chorus]
Wake me up
You're the caffeine in my coffee cup
And like a shootin' star, you light me up
You're amazing

[Chorus]
'Cause we all need somebody
Even lonely hearts need somebody
So before this love leaves your body
Give it away, yeah
So if you've got somebody
Let 'em know that they're your somebody
Little love never hurt nobody, nobody
So you use your light and shine it like crazy
We got one life, let's make it amazin'
I love you, babe, you know that ain't changin'
You got, you got somebody who loves ya
You got, you got somebody who love—
[Post-Chorus]
(A little love never hurt nobody)
You got, you got somebody who loves ya
You got, you got somebody who loves ya (We all need somebody)
You got, you got somebody who loves ya

[Pre-Chorus]
You wake me up
You're the caffeine in my coffee cup
And like a shootin' star, you light me up
Amazing
You're amazing

[Chorus]
'Cause we all need somebody
Even lonely hearts need somebody
So before this love leaves your body
Give it away ('Way, 'way, 'way)
So if you've got somebody
Let 'em know that they're your somebody
Little love never hurt nobody, nobody
So you use your light and shine it like crazy
We got one life, let's make it amazin'
I love you, babe, you know that ain't changin'
You got, you got somebody who loves ya
You got, you got somebody who loves ya

What did Sam Ryder say about "Somebody"?
Genius Answer

This was written before the BRIT Awards last year. I was going as a guest, and the BRITs are a funny thing like any award ceremony, because they make you quite reflective, kind of a yearly review of ‘Where are you in your career? know
how many years I’ve spent sitting at home watching it thinking, 'Jesus, I am so far from that.’
was doing a session again, with Max and a guy called Jon Green, and we just wanted to write
something incredibly joyful and it ended up being this Paul Simon-like celebration of knowing that there’s someone out there in the world, no matter what you’re going through, that cares for you.
