You're Nobody 'til Somebody Loves You

"You're Nobody 'til Somebody Loves You" was a popular 20th century Earth song sung by Vic Fontaine when Julian Bashir first introduced the Vegas holoprogram to his friends. (DS9: "His Way")

This song was a top 20 hit written by Russ Morgan in 1946 that was popular with members of the Rat Pack in Las Vegas. It was recorded by Frank Sinatra in 1961, Dean Martin in 1964, and Sammy Davis, Jr. in 1967.

The Star Trek Encyclopedia (4th ed., vol. 2, p. 510), as well, credited L. Stock and J. Cavanaugh as writers of this song. The reference work described the song as a piece extolling the importance of having a romantic relationship in a person's life.

Lyrics

You're nobody 'till somebody loves you
You're nobody 'till somebody cares

You may be king
You may possess the worlds and its gold
But gold won't bring you happiness when you're growing old

The world still is the same
You'll never change it
As sure as the stars shine above

You're nobody 'till somebody loves you
So find yourself somebody to love

You're nobody 'till somebody loves you
You're nobody 'till somebody cares

You may be a king
You may possess the all world and its gold
But gold won't bring you happiness when you're getting old

The world still is the same
You'll never change it
As sure as the stars shine above

You're nobody, nobody 'till somebody loves you
So find yourself somebody
You got to get yourself somebody
because you're nobody 'till somebody loves you
You're nobody to somebody cares

You may be a king
You may possess big fat world and its gold
But gold won't bring you happiness when you're going old

The world's always the same, you'll never change it, change it
As sure as the stars shine above

You're nobody, nobody 'till somebody loves you
So find yourself somebody, somebody to love
