SOMEBODY Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Baby, why the hesitation?
'Cause I know that you can feel it too
You want more and I can taste it
Let me show you what I wanna do
Tryna get trapped in your leg lock
Go another round, make the bed rock
Yuh, bite the neck, I'ma make it sweat
Never give you no rest, never give you no rest

[Pre-Chorus]
You needed somebody, baby, put it on me
I can be that body, said I can be that body
You needed somebody, baby, put it on me
I can be that body, said I can be that, no

[Chorus]
Baby, it’s you, baby, it’s you
(Fuck around, put you down, get it loud, 'nother round)
Baby, it’s you
(You needed somebody, baby, put it on me)
Tell me where you want, te—tell me where you want it
Baby, it’s you, baby, it’s you
(Fuck around, put you down, get it loud, 'nother round)
Baby, it’s you
(You needed somebody, baby, put it on me)
Tell me where you want, te—tell me where you want it
[Verse 2]
Back it up, girl, now you speakin' my language
Show me your favorite spots, but you don’t gotta say it
(Pull me close, hold it tight, let me go through the night)
Saddle up girl, why you keepin' me waitin'?
Hold on if you wanna get off
If you want love, we gon' make it
(Love, we gon' make— lo—lo—love, we gon' make i—it)

[Pre-Chorus]
You needed somebody, baby, put it on me
I can be that body, said I can be that body
You needed somebody, baby, put it on me
I can be that body, said I can be that, no

[Chorus]
Baby, it’s you, baby, it’s you
(Fuck around, put you down, get it loud, 'nother round)
Baby, it’s you
(You needed somebody, baby, put it on me)
Tell me where you want, te—tell me where you want it
Baby, it’s you (keshi), baby, it’s you
(Fuck around, put you down, get it loud, 'nother round)
Baby, it’s you
(You needed somebody, baby, put it on me)
Tell me where you want, te—tell me where you want it
[Outro]
Pull me close
Pull me close
Hold it tight
Pull me—pull me close
Pull me close
Pull me close
Hold it tight
Pull me—pull me close

About

Genius Annotation

“SOMEBODY” is the first look into keshi’s debut album, GABRIEL, and second overall release of 2021 following the successful standalone single “beside you.” This is also the first song that abandons the all-lowercase style of song titling.

Production was handled by keshi and Baltimore native producer Elie Rizk, who was recruited as executive producer for the album. This is the fifth solo release that features production from another artist.

The song’s title was first shared via TikTok on May 18, 2021, then previewed on June 24, 2021.

Genius Answer

With “SOMEBODY” and the upcoming album as a whole, I felt like it was time to shift the tone to something more well rounded. It all exudes a newfound confidence that I think fans will be refreshed to hear and see in all the new videos.
