Somebody Else Lyrics

[Verse 1]
So I heard you found somebody else
And at first, I thought it was a lie
I took all my things that make sounds
The rest I can do without

[Chorus]
I don't want your body
But I hate to think about you with somebody else
Our love has gone cold
You're intertwining your soul with somebody else
I'm looking through you
While you're looking through your phone
And then leaving with somebody else
No, I don't want your body
But I'm picturing your body with somebody else (Else, else...)

[Post-Chorus]
I don't want your body, I don't want your body
I don't want your body, I don't want your body
I don't want your body, I don't want your body
I don't want your body, I don't want your body

[Verse 2]
And c'mon baby (I know)
This ain't the last time that I'll see your face
And c'mon baby (I know)
You said you'd find someone to take my place (Place, place)
I just don't believe that you have got it in you
'Cause we are just gonna keep “Doin' it” and every time
I start to believe in anything you're saying
I'm reminded that I should be gettin' over it

[Chorus]
I don't want your body
But I hate to think about you with somebody else
Our love has gone cold
You're intertwining your soul with somebody else
I'm looking through you
While you're looking through your phone
And then leaving with somebody else
No, I don't want your body
But I'm picturing your body with somebody else (Else, else...)

[Post-Chorus]
I don't want your body, I don't want your body
I don't want your body, I don't want your body
I don't want your body, I don't want your body
I don't want your body, I don't want your body

[Bridge]
Get someone you love?
Get someone you need?
Fuck that, get money
I can't give you my soul, 'cause we're never alone
Get someone you love?
Get someone you need?
Fuck that, get money
I can't give you my soul, 'cause we're never alone
Get someone you love?
Get someone you need?
Fuck that, get money
I can't give you my soul, 'cause we're never alone
Get someone you love?
Get someone you need?
Fuck that, get money
I can't give you my soul, 'cause we're never alone

[Chorus]
I don't want your body (I don't want your body)
But I hate to think about you with somebody else
(I don't want your body)
Our love has gone cold
You're intertwining your soul with somebody else
(I don't want your body)
I'm looking through you
While you're looking through your phone
And then leaving with somebody else
(I don't want your body)
No, I don't want your body (I don't want your body)
But I'm picturing your body with somebody else
(I don't want your body)

Is the apparent focus on physicality/superficial features important?

I would think so. The post-chorus gives evidence the narrator is having conflicting feelings, possibly being still physically attracted to this person even after their infidelity. It’s also interesting that the song doesn’t note anything in particular about this person, personality wise. In fact, th...

What did The 1975 say about "Somebody Else"?

From an article in DIY

“It’s something that talks about the guilty feelings that you don’t really like thinking about,” teased Matty in an interview with Zane Lowe. They also mentioned a “crazy idea” that the pair cooked up which’ll be emerging in the next couple of weeks, apparently. Lord knows wh...

Would you call this a love song?

At a certain point, yes.
This is a song filled of sentimentalism, and can be interpreted in a lot of different ways such as a sort of “Love yourself anthem” or even a breakup song.

“Somebody Else” is my purest songwriting experience. It was so easy and simple to write. It’s about heartbreak, guilt and shame. Everyone can relate to that.
