So, I’m a big fan of “found verse” and I’m also a fan of Erykah Badu, and I’m listening to Jhene Aiko who inspires me, so you get these lyrics. I’m just having a relaxing afternoon on a rainy day. Just trying to tell a story using a writing prompt from a tweet by Ms. Badu. This would be a slow, melodic R&B song like you might find done by Ms. Badu or Ms. Aiko.
Somebody
lyrics by Shelton Bumgarner
@bumgarls
please give credit if you produce or perform
somebody should have taken my device this morning
somebody should have see this coming
somebody save me from this life
somebody bring me some delight
somebody is all I need
somebody who makes me sing
somebody who makes my bell ring
somebody, somebody, somebody
somebody is what we all need
somebody with a nice smile
somebody for whom we’d walk a mile
somebody to bring us a smile
somebody maybe who is kind
somebody never seems to come
somebody always seems late or on the run
somebody is all I ask for
somebody you cares
somebody is all I need
somebody who makes me sing
somebody who makes my bell ring
somebody, somebody, somebody
[bridge]
will anyone, somebody hear my plea
for a little love for little old me
all I ask is somebody hear me now
somebody who might dare me to risk it all
somebody I know is out there for me
somebody who will love me for everything I am
somebody to bring me to my personal truth
somebody, is it you?
