I need a lady, not somebody shady
need someone to be close to
somebody cozy, not somebody nosy
help me see my whole day through
someone to share the load
somebody to walk the road I live on… live!
good Lord send me, good Lord mend me
send me down someone for me
said I won’t be choosy, you could send me a floozy
send me anybody you please
somebody say you will
somebody further still
somebody, some-somebody for me
now won’t you send me somebody
yeah, somebody
won’t you send me somebody
now won’t you send me somebody
well, call for somebody, scream loud and bloody
call woman, woman, come on to me
save for tomorrow, share all your sorrow
misery enjoys company (yes it does, yes it does)

About Lyrics and Somebody by Aerosmith

The lyrics to Somebody are just the words, phrases, verses and chorus that Aerosmith used when the song was created in 1973. The lyrics to Somebody have both easy-to-spot meanings and hidden metaphors that have been discussed by the music press and fans, but only Aerosmith and any collaborators know all of the inspirations for the song.

If you like etymology or breaking apart phrases and words, it is easy to understand the lyrics to Somebody by Aerosmith. The word "lyric" itself derives from the Latin word lyricus, with the actual English word lyrics applied to the definition "words set to music" listed in Stainer and Barrett's 1876 Dictionary of Musical Terms. Continuing the chain, the Latin word lyricus derives from the Greek word λυρικός or lyrikós. This somewhat means "poetry accompanied by the lyre" or "words set to music." You can easily see that by looking at the background of the word lyric, that the "lyrics to Somebody" means the words set to the music of Somebody, or poetry accompanied by the lyre played by Aerosmith. The singular form "lyric" is still used to mean the complete words to a song. However, the singular form lyric is also commonly used to refer to a specific line (or phrase) within a song's lyrics. Hence, by this analysis of word structure, you could say that the lyric to Somebody and the lyrics to Somebody are both one and the same thing. None of this talk about the word Lyrics is really relevant to fans of Aerosmith who came here looking just for the lyrics to Somebody, but we feel it is still fun to learn what's behind commonly used words and lyrics in songs.
