My Somebody (Commentary)

You, burning waffles in the kitchen

Laughing when the smoke alarm goes off

You, overdressed in the winter

Smiling underneath a Target scarf

Do you remember what you told me

Last summer sitting in my car? You said

Everybody needs somebody

Well, baby, I don't need nobody

But the girl who's looking at me looking at her

Like some kind of love-drunk fool

Everybody needs somebody

And my somebody is you

Act like you ain't afraid of nothing

But I still catch you biting your nails

You, always creeping up to crazy

But never going off the rails

And do you realize

That you made it near impossible for anybody else?

'Cause everybody needs somebody

Well, baby, I don't need nobody

But the girl who's looking at me looking at her

Like some kind of love-drunk fool

Everybody needs somebody

And my somebody is you

Though I'll never let you go

So baby, all I wanna know

Am I the same thing to you?

Am I your somebody too?

'Cause everybody needs somebody

And, baby, I don't need nobody

But the girl who's looking at me looking at her

Like some kind of love-drunk fool

Everybody needs somebody

My somebody is you

My somebody is you
