Somebody Lyrics

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 floosy
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

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]

What did Aerosmith say about "Somebody"?
Genius Answer

In the band’s memoir Walk This Way: The Autobiography of Aerosmith, Steven Tyler said:

“Somebody” grew out of a lick that our roadie Steve Emsback used to play on his guitar during the days of William Proud. I grabbed it and wrote the lyrics.
