LP’s “My Body” expresses themes of prioritizing ones needs and remaining independent, despite the longing for someone else.
Moreover, throughout the song, it can also be interpreted to behold a more amorous tone. Such a tone gains traction throughout the verses, allowing the song to shift priorities...
[Verse 1]
I feel like starting over
Punk Rock from Bossanova
Change my style and maybe go buck wild
Yeah, yeah
Start to pay myself some more attention
A motherfucker of my invention
I’m just saying
You wanna win? Start playing
[Chorus]
My body’s looking for somebody
My baby left me for nobody
My body needs to be loved
And all I’m saying
My body’s looking for something else
I’m tired of doin’ it by myself
Oh God, I need to be strong
And take back time that I’ve been wasting
I’ve been wasting
That I’ve been wasting, wasting
I’ve been wasting
[Verse 2]
Missin’ you like a calling
Is this my “sky is falling”?
I changed my mind again
I think we’ll be just fine again
Yeah-eah
As syndromes go Stockholm is kinda lovely
This time of year, but hеy, it could get ugly
No idea, it might be cavaliеr, yeah
But baby, baby, baby
[Chorus]
My body’s looking for somebody
My baby left me for nobody
My body needs to be loved
And all I’m saying
My body’s looking for something else
I’m tired of doin’ it by myself
Oh God, I need to be strong
And take back time that I’ve been wasting
I’ve been wasting
That I’ve been wasting, wasting
I’ve been wasting
[Refrain]
My body’s looking for somebody
My baby left me for nobody
My body needs to be loved
And all I’m saying
My body’s looking for something else
I’m tired of doin’ it by myself
Oh God, I need to be strong
And take back time that I’ve been wasting
I’ve been wasting
That I’ve been wasting, wasting
I’ve been wasting
[Outro]
(Everybody needs a little somebody)
(Everybody needs a little somebody)
(Everybody needs a little somebody)
(Everybody needs a little somebody)
(Everybody needs a little somebody)
