Story Behind the Song
"She was my first real relationship after I'd left home and was serving in the Armed Forces. I think all of us learn a lot in life from the lovers we've known along the way. Nothing is better than first love but nothing hurts more than first love lost."
Lyrics
No one smiled and held me close this mornin'
No one softly sighed, and said she cared
And no one said she'd wait for me
When I came in from working late
And now, when I get home, nobody's there
I guess she always said I'd find out someday
Well now she's gone I see the girl was right
When she said, "no one makes it all alone
We're nobody without someone,"
Oh, Lord, I need to be somebody tonight...
'Cause everybody needs somebody sometime
It seems we spend our whole lives
Wishing love could work out right
But now too late, I know it's true,
I guess she always knew it, too
Oh, Lord, I need to be somebody tonight...
Somebody tonight...
No one's here to hear me say, "I'm sorry."
Cause no one's left to tell her she was right
By now she's found somebody new
To hold her close and tell her, too,
"Oh, Lord, I need to be somebody tonight..."
'Cause everybody needs somebody sometime
It seems we spend our whole lives
Wishing love could work out right
But now too late, I know it's true,
I guess she always knew it, too
Oh, Lord, I need to be somebody tonight...
Somebody tonight...
No one left her make-up out this mornin'
No one used my razor and my comb
And no one's askin' where I've been
When I'm out half the night, but then
Now, when I get back, nobody's home
If I could turn back time for just one minute
I'd whisper to her as I held her tight
And I'd say,"I won't leave you all alone
I'm nobody without someone,"
Oh, Lord, I need to be somebody tonight...
And everybody needs somebody sometime
It seems we spend our whole lives
Wishing love could work out right
But now too late, I know it's true,
I guess she always knew it, too
Oh, Lord, I need to be somebody tonight...
Somebody tonight...
Somebody tonight...
Somebody tonight...
Somebody tonight...
