美國鄉村樂女皇[蕾芭麥肯泰爾]的第22首冠軍──鄉村-流行抒情曲──[Somebody/某人]
At a diner down on Broadway they make small talk
When she brings his eggs and fills his coffee cup
He jokes about his love life
And tells her he's about ready to give up
That's when she says I've been there before
But keep on looking because maybe who your looking for is
Somebody in the next car
Somebody on the morning train
Somebody in the coffee shop that you walk right by everyday
Somebody that you look at but never really see
Somewhere out there is somebody
Across town in a crowded elevator
He can't forget the things that waitress said
He usually reads the paper
But today he reads a strangers face instead
Its that blue eyed girl from two floors up
Maybe she's the one
Maybe he could fall in love with
Somebody in the next car
Somebody on the morning train
Somebody in the coffee shop that you walk right by everyday
Somebody that you look at but never really see
Somewhere out there is somebody
Now they laugh about the moment that it happened
The moment they both missed until that day
When he saws his future in her eyes
Instead of just another friendly face
And he wonders why he searched so long
When she was always there at that diner waitin' on
Somebody in the next car
Somebody on the morning train
Somebody in the coffee shop that you walk right by everyday
Somebody that you look at but never really see
Somewhere out there
Oh somewhere out there, is somebody.

2004年11月 49歲的美國鄉村樂女王蕾芭.麥肯泰爾(Reba McEntire)發行第二十三張大碟〔Room to Breathe/呼吸的空間〕──這也是自1999[So Good Together]後首張全新創作大碟
這回改由她與Buddy Cannon, Norro Wilson共同製作 獲得不錯評價
登上美國鄉村榜#4 流行榜#25 賣出一百多萬張 拿到白金唱片
首支主打[I’m Gonna Take That Mountain]拿到美國鄉村榜#14
2004年初 蕾芭推出第二主打[Somebody/某人]
此取由Dave Berg, Annie Tate , Sam Tate譜寫
2001年曾由鄉村歌手Mark Wills灌錄 但沒發單曲
麥肯泰爾版由她,Buddy Cannon, Norro Wilson三人共同製作
是首鄉村-流行風格的抒情曲
[Somebody]直到8月才登上Billboard鄉村榜冠軍 比預期的時間長上許多
MV推出後 此曲的熱門度再起
加上MCA唱片公司花了不少力氣宣傳 許多電台受到贊助 在夜間強力放送
最後終於成為蕾芭第22首冠軍曲(年終榜#16)
另外也登上美國單曲榜#35──這是麥肯泰爾在主流界第二高的名次
[Somebody]是蕾芭進入21世紀後的代表作之一
