Lyrics[]

[Intro: Justin Bieber & Usher]
Gotta, gotta keep you
G-g-got got
Gotta, gotta keep you closer, it feels so right
Oh (Oh, oh, oh)
Ohoh

[Verse 1]
For you, I’d write a symphony
I’d tell the violin, it’s time to sink or swim
Watch ‘em play for you
For you I’d be, whoa oh, running a thousand miles
Just get you where you are, step to the beat of my heart

[Pre-Chorus]
I don’t need a whole lot but for you I admit I
I’d rather give you the world or we can share mine
I know I won’t be the first one giving you all this attention
But baby listen

[Chorus]
I just need somebody to love
I-I don’t need too much, just somebody to love
Somebody to love, I don’t need nothing else
I promise girl I swear, I just need somebody to love
I need somebody, I-I need somebody
I need somebody, I-I need somebody

[Verse 2]
Every day I bring the sun around
I sweep away the clouds, smile for me, smile for me
I would take every second, every single time
Spend it like my last dime, step to the beat of my heart

[Pre-Chorus]
I don’t need a whole lot but for you I admit I
I’d rather give you the world or we can share mine
I know I won’t be the first one giving you all this attention
But baby listen

[Chorus]
I just need somebody to love, oh no no no no no no
I-I don’t need too much, just somebody to love
Somebody to love, oh whoa, I don’t need nothing else
I promise girl I swear, I just need somebody to love
I need somebody, I-I need somebody
I need somebody, I-I need somebody, somebody to love
I need somebody, I-I need somebody
I need somebody, I-I need somebody, I just need somebody to love

[Bridge]
And you can have it all, anything you want
I can bring, give you the finer things, yeah
But what I really want, I can’t find ‘cause money can’t find me
Somebody to love, oh whoa
Find me somebody to love, ohoh, whoa

[Chorus]
I need somebody to love, yeah
I-I don’t need too much, just somebody to love
Somebody to love, I don’t need nothing else
I promise girl I swear, I just need somebody to love
I need somebody, I-I need somebody
I need somebody, I-I need somebody, somebody to love
I need somebody, I-I need somebody
I need somebody I swear, I-I need somebody, I just need somebody to love

[Outro: Justin Bieber & Usher]
I need somebody, I need somebody
I need somebody, I-I need somebody
Tell my friend right now
I need somebody to love, I need somebody
Like I need somebody, I-I need somebody
Is she out there? Is she out there?
Is she out there?
Tell my friend right now but I
Is she out there?
Like I just need somebody to love
