Somebody to Love by Queen reflects Freddie Mercurys feelings on love and loneliness. Inspired by gospel, Mercury aimed to evoke Aretha Franklins style in the song. Recorded for the A Day at the Races album, it showcases complex vocal harmonies work.
Oh, each morning I get up, I die a little Can barely stand on my feet (Take a look at yourself) Take a look in the mirror and cry Lord what you're doing to me I have to spend all my years in believing you But I just can't get no relief, Lord
Somebody (somebody) ooh somebody (somebody) Can anybody find me somebody to love?
I work hard (he works hard) every day of my life I work till I ache my bones At the end (at the end of the day) I take home my hard earned pay all on my own I get down (down) on my knees (knees) And I start to pray (praise the Lord) Till the tears run down from my eyes
Lord somebody (somebody) ooh somebody (please) Can anybody find me somebody to love?
(He works hard) everyday I try and I try and I try But everybody wants to put me down They say I'm going crazy They say I got a lot of water in my brain Got no common sense I got nobody left to believe Yeah - yeah yeah yeah ...

Somebody (somebody), Somebody (somebody) Can anybody find me somebody to love? (Anybody find me someone to love)
Got no feel, I got no rhythm I just keep losing my beat (you just keep losing and losing) I'm ok, I'm alright (he's alright) Ain't gonna face no defeat I just gotta get out of this prison cell Someday I'm gonna be free Lord!
