Somebody to Love Lyrics

[FINN]
Can...

[NEW DIRECTIONS]
(Anybody find me somebody to love?)

[RACHEL]
Ohhh...
Each morning I get up, I die a little
Can barely stand on my feet (Take a look at yourself in the mirror)

[FINN]
Take a look in the mirror and cry (And cry, yeah yeah)
Lord, what you're doing to me!

[RACHEL]
I've spent all my years believing you (Oooh, believing you)
But I just can't get no relief (But I just can't get no relief)

[FINN]
Lord, somebody, oooh somebody (Lord, somebody, somebody)
(Can anybody find me...) Can anybody find me somebody to love?

[ARTIE]
I work hard everyday of my life (He works hard)
[ARTIE & RACHEL]
I work 'til I ache in 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)

[RACHEL]
I get down on my knees and I start to pray (Down, knees, praise the Lord!)
'Til the tears run down from my eyes (Oooh...)

[FINN & RACHEL]
Lord, somebody, ohhh somebody (Lord, somebody, somebody)

[RACHEL]
(Can anybody find me...) Can anybody find me somebody to love?

[ARTIE]
(He works hard, everyday) Oh, everyday...
I try, and I try, and I try (I try, and I try, and I try)

[RACHEL]
But everybody wants to put me down
They say I'm goin' crazy

[ARTIE]
(Ahhh...) They say I got a lot of water in my brain
I got no common sense, I got nobody left to believe
(He's got nobody left to believe)
No... (Yeah yeah yeah yeah)
[FINN & RACHEL]
Oh somebody, oh somebody (Oooh, Lord, somebody, somebody)
Can anybody find me...

[RACHEL]
Somebody to love? (Can...anybody...find me...someone to love?)

[FINN]
Got no feel, I got no rhythm
I just keep losing my beat (You just keep losing it)

[RACHEL]
I'm ok, I'm alright (Yeah, he's alright, he's alright, yeah yeah)
I ain't gonna face no defeat

[FINN & RACHEL]
I just gotta get out of this prison cell
Someday I'm gonna be free, Lord! (Someday I'm gonna be free, Lord!)
(Find me somebody to love, find me somebody to love)
(Find me somebody to love)

[FINN]
Ohhh...
(Find me somebody to love, find me somebody to love)

[MERCEDES]
Hee, oooh...
(Find me somebody to love, find me somebody to love)
[ARTIE]
Somebody...
(Find me somebody to love, love, love)

[FINN]
Ohhh...
(Find me somebody to love, find me somebody to love)

[RACHEL]
Ohhh...
(Somebody, somebody, somebody, somebody, somebody, somebody)

[ARTIE]
Oh, find me, find me...
(Somebody find me somebody to love)
(Can anybody find me...)

[MERCEDES]
Somebody to love?
(Find me somebody to love)
(Find me somebody to love)

[RACHEL]
Somebody find me

[FINN]
Find me

[RACHEL]
Somebody find me
(Find me somebody to love)

[RACHEL]
Somebody to love
(Find me somebody to love)

[ARTIE]
Somebody, somebody, somebody

[RACHEL]
Somebody to love
(Find me somebody to love)

[FINN]
Love, oooh...
(Find me somebody to love)

[RACHEL]
Somebody to love

[FINN]
Somebody to love
(Find me somebody to love)

[RACHEL]
Find me somebody to...love...

About

Genius Annotation

‘Somebody to Love’ by Queen is featured in The Rhodes Not Taken, the fifth episode of Season One. It is sung by the New Directions for their second act at their Invitationals. Artie (Kvin McHale), Finn (Cory Monteith), Mercedes (Amber Riley), and Rachel (Lea Michele) have solos.

Due to April being kicked out by Will because of her drunkenness after their first song, Last Name, Rachel decides to rejoin, after not liking being in the musical Cabaret by herself. She already knows the lyrics to the song and so Finn and the others agree to help her with the choreography. It is the first song in which all of the first twelve members perform together.

In Sectionals, the thirteenth episode of Season One, Quinn suggests this song to be used again as the closing song at Sectionals because it’s a “crowd pleaser.” That happens after the group’s initial set-list is stolen by the opposing schools (with a helping hand from Sue); however, this song is not seen performed onscreen.
