Greetings everyone, I am coderaikiri welcome to the three hundred and first edition of Hive Open Mic. For this week the theme is somebody to love and what better way to respond to it than with a song that shares the same title with the theme. Now I'll be performing a song cover to somebody to love by Justin Bieber.
Every time Justin's name pops into my head, I jokingly soliloquize about how I literally watch him start his career as a child and somehow he is now older than me with a family of hos own to top it up. Justin Bieber as a kid was a sensation to the entire world and it was so hard to find someone who is not a fan. The songs he released during that period should be regarded as national treasures with "somebody to love" at the top of the list.
SOMEBODY TO LOVE is a request to cupid (the god of love) to provide a significant other just so to experience what real love truly feels like. I wonder how at that age he was able to produce such beautiful lyrics or maybe he just has a good song writer cause what do you mean a boy wrote "I'd rather give you the whole world but we can share mine". That's more than just good, it's phenomenal... Somebody to love must be heard on open mic and I play to represent so enjoy.
Thanks
LYRICS
Oh, oh-oh
[Verse 1]
For you I'd write a symphony
I'd tell the violin, "It's time to sink or swim"
Watch them play for ya
For you, I'd be, woah-woah
Runnin' a thousand miles just get to where you are
Step to the beat of my heart
[Pre-Chorus]
I don't need a whole lot, coming from you I admit I'd
Rather give you the world or we can share mine
I know I won't be the first one giving you all this attention
Baby, listen
[Chorus]
I just need somebody to love
I don't need too much, just somebody to love
Somebody to love
I don't need nothing else, I promise, girl, I swear
I just need somebody to love
[Post-Chorus]
I need somebody, I-I need somebody
I need somebody, I-I need somebody
[Verse 2]
Every day I bring the sun around
I sweep away the clouds, smile for me
I would take every second, every single time
Spend it like my last dime, step to the beat of my heart
[Pre-Chorus]
I don't need a whole lot, coming from you I admit I'd
Rather give you the world or we can share mine
I know I won't be the first one giving you all this attention
Baby, listen
[Chorus]
I just need somebody to love (Oh, oh, no, no, no, no)
I don't need too much, just somebody to love
Somebody to love (Oh-oh-oh)
I don't need nothing else, I promise, girl, I swear
I just need somebody to love
[Post-Chorus]
I need somebody, I-I need somebody
I need somebody, I-I need somebody
(Somebody to love)
I need somebody, I-I need somebody
I need somebody, I-I need somebody
(I just need somebody to love)
[Bridge]
And you can have it all
Anything you want, I can bring
Give you the finer things, yeah
But what I really want, I can't find
'Cause money can't find me somebody to love
Oh-oh, find me somebody to love, oh-oh
[Chorus]
I just need somebody to love (Yeah)
I don't need too much, just somebody to love
Somebody to love
I don't need nothing else, I promise, girl, I swear
I just need somebody to love
[Post-Chorus]
I need somebody, I-I need somebody
I need somebody, I-I need somebody
(Somebody to love)
I need somebody, I-I need somebody
I need somebody, I-I need somebody
(I swear, I just need somebody to love)
[Outro]
I need somebody, I need somebody
I need somebody, I-I need somebody
I need somebody (To love), I need somebody
I need somebody, I-I need somebody
Is she out there? Is she out there?
Is she out there? Is she out there?
I just need somebody to love
