Somebody's Somebody

About Somebody's Somebody

"Somebody's Somebody" is a song from Prince's (his stage name at that time being an unpronounceable symbol, see cover art) 1996 album Emancipation. The song is an R&B ballad about Prince being lonely and wanting someone to hold and wanting to be "somebody's somebody". The US promotional release was sent to urban radio stations as the same time that "The Holy River" was sent to pop radio stations, and the song achieved moderate success at urban radio peaking at number 15 on Billboard's Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Airplay chart. In other countries the song was released as a double A-side with "The Holy River". Excluding the re-release of "1999", "The Holy River"/"Somebody's Somebody" became his final UK Top 40 single in his lifetime. more »

Somebody's somebody
Somewhere, someone
It's to o'clock in the morning and I just can't sleep
Outside the rain is pouring, I'm lonely as can be
Maybe tonight'll be different than the nights before
I need to feel someone beside me, I can't be alone no more

[Chorus]
Tonight I want to be somebody's somebody
Tonight I want to belong to someone (Someone)
Tonight I want to be somebody's somebody
Tonight I want somebody that'll do it 'til the job gets done (Oh yeah)

This big ol' world can be so empty livin' in it all alone
I realize, in its best disguise, a pretty house don't make a home
There's a hunger deep inside of me, how the fire burns
I want to give good love to someone and get good love in return, oh

[Chorus]

Somebody's somebody
Someone
I want to be somebody's body
Oh yes, oh yeah

Someone to hold me in that hour midnight
Someone to console me when things ain't goin' to right
Someone to bring me dinner sometime, yeah (Mine, all mine)
Somebody I can call all mine

It's 2:05 in the morning and I got no one to call
I'm longin' to hear another voice inside these lonely walls (Lonely walls)
Maybe 2night'll be different (different) than the nights before (Maybe not)
I need to feel someone beside me, I cannot be alone no more (No more, no more!)

[Chorus: x2]

Somebody's somebody
I don't want to be alone, no no!
I don't want to wait another day, no!
I'll do it over and over and over and over, yeah!

Oh, I don't want to wait, no!
Can I belong to you, baby? Oh yeah! (I want to belong to someone)
Oh, slow, deep and long
Do me over and over and over and over

(tonight I want to be somebody's somebody)
Oh yeah
If you're out there, come on, baby
I'll keep it hot for you
(tonight I want to be somebody's somebody)
Come on, baby
(tonight I want somebody that'll do it 'til the job gets done, oh yeah)
Done

Somebody's somebody
