Medea questions her ability to love Jason, hence the “don’t you want somebody to love?”

When the truth is found to be lies And all the joy within you dies Don’t you want somebody to love, don’t you Need somebody to love, wouldn’t you Love somebody to love, you better Find somebody to love When the garden flowers baby are dead, yes and Your mind, your mind is so full of red Don’t you want somebody to love, don’t you Need somebody to love, wouldn’t you Love somebody to love, you better Find somebody to love Your eyes, I say your eyes may look like his Yeah, but in your head, baby, I’m afraid you don’t know where it is Don’t you want somebody to love, don’t you Need somebody to love, wouldn’t you Love somebody to love, you better Find somebody to love Tears are running down and down and down your breast And your friends, baby they treat you like a guest Don’t you want somebody to love, don’t you Need somebody to love, wouldn’t you Love somebody to love, you better Find somebody to love
