Somebody to Love Lyrics
Artist(Band):Jefferson Airplane
When the truth is found to be lies
and all the joy within you dies
don't you want somebody to love
don't you need somebody to love
wouldn't you love somebody to love
you better find somebody to love
When the garden flowers baby are dead yes
and your mind [, your mind] is [so] full of BREAD
don't you want somebody to love
don't you need somebody to love
wouldn't you love somebody to love
you better find somebody to love
your eyes, I say your eyes may look like his [yeah]
but in your head baby I'm afraid you don't know where it is
don't you want somebody to love
don't you need somebody to love
wouldn't you love somebody to love
you better find somebody to love
tears are running [ahhh, they're all] running down your breast
and your friends baby they treat you like a guest.
don't you want somebody to love
don't you need somebody to love
wouldn't you love somebody to love
you better find somebody to love

Review about Somebody to Love
They R Tru, I was there | Reviewer: Anonymous | 3/13/09
Grace Slick doesn't paint a perfect picture with her lyrics. She uses symbols. You Tube has a great interview by her where she explains her generation didn't dig Tupperware parties and things that were popular in the 50's. The dead garden flowers could represent the "Garden Club". A society club filled with hate who treats their friends as guests because they are superficial, materialistic, and do not have real friends. Being born in the 50's and living as a teen in the 60's, these lyrics make perfect sense. The term we used back then for fake people were "they were plastic". You had to have lived back then to understand the evolution of 60's change.

I have to disagree. All I hear is "guest". I don't know about anyone else but my friends don't treat me like a guest. They treat me like I live at their homes as well. If I ask for a drink, they tell me that I should know where the glasses and fridge are by now. I absolutely see your point and I have no idea where Jefferson's actual lyrics are. It's possible that Grace didn't sing the written lyrics every time. I know Maynard of Tool changes lyrics all the time.
And "where it's at" makes more sense but all I hear is "where it."
Then again, this is only a lyric site and of all the things to be concerned about, this isn't really one of them.
Lyrics not quite right here | Reviewer: RK | 7/31/08
There are several points where I suspect the lyrics as provided here are wrong. Most particularly, in the last stanza they are given as:
"...and your friends baby they treat you like a guest."
No, no, no, and if you listen closely to Grace singing it (say, by using an iPod and headphones) you will clearly hear the correct words:
"... and your friends, baby, they treat you like a pest."
Think about it: your friends are in relationships. You're not (which is why you need to find somebody to love). And so, because you're the odd man/woman out, you keep bugging your friends. "Let's go to a movie", "can I come over for dinner?" etc. The single guy or gal becomes a pest to all the former single guy/gal friends who are now couples. Duh!
Or think it of this way: when you are single, and all your friends are couples, WHY would they treat you like a "guest"? What, 'cause single people who haven't anybody to love are special and need to use the guest bedroom?
I suspect a lot of the other lyrics given here are also garbled. In the third stanza, line 2, I think it ends, "... you don't know where it's at," not "where it is." The term "where it's at" was common slang in the '60s and '70s; meanwhile, again, the term "where it is" doesn't mean anything in this context. But my hearing is not acute enough to really pick out the precise words she uses. Did Jefferson Airplane never publish the actual words anywhere?

Julliette and the licks cover, its a real piece of shit.
NO need to do such a disgusting thing to a great song, they should be decapited for doing that ridicoulous version.
