Queen Talks

"'Somebody To Love' is Aretha Franklin-influenced. Freddie's very much into that. We tried to keep the track in a loose, gospel-type feel. I think it's the loosest track we've ever done."

Roger Taylor - 31/01/1977, Circus Magazine

Lyrics

Can anybody find me somebody to love?
Each morning I get up I die a little
Can barely stand on my feet
(Take a look at yourself in the mirror)
Take a look in the mirror and cry (and cry, yeah, yeah)
Lord what you're doing to me
I have to spend all my years in believing you
But I just can't get no relief Lord
Somebody (somebody) oooh somebody (somebody)
Can anybody find me somebody to love?

I work hard (he works hard) everyday of my life
I work till I ache my bones
At the end (at the end of the day)
I take home my hard earned pay all on my own
(Goes home, goes home on his own)
I get down (down) on my knees (knees)
And I start to pray (praise the Lord)
'Til the tears run down from my eyes
Lord somebody (somebody) oooh somebody (please)
Can anybody find me somebody to love?

(He works hard)
Everyday (everyday)
I try and I try and I try
But everybody wants to put me down
They say I'm going crazy
They say I got a lot of water in my brain
I got no common sense
(He's)I got nobody left to believe
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

Oooh, Lord
Ooh, somebody, ooh (somebody)
Can anybody find me somebody to love?
(Can anybody find me someone to love)

Got no feel I got no rhythm
I just keep losing my beat
(You just keep losing and losing)
I'm OK, I'm alright
(He's alright, he's alright, yeah, yeah)
I ain't gonna face no defeat
I just gotta get out of this prison cell
(Ooh, ooh this prison cell)
One day I'm gonna be free Lord

Find me somebody to love, find me somebody to love
Find me somebody to love, find me somebody to love
Find me somebody to love, find me somebody to love
Find me somebody to love, find me somebody to love
Find me somebody to love, find me somebody to love
Somebody, somebody, somebody, somebody, somebody
Find me somebody, find me somebody to love
Can anybody find me
Somebody to love
Find me somebody to love
Find me somebody to love
Find me somebody to love
Find me, find me, find me, find me
Find me ooh somebody to love, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
Find me, find me, find me somebody to love
Anybody, anywhere
Anybody find me somebody to love
Find me, find me, find me
