Lyrics
Winner
Blaine:
Now and then I think of when we were together
Like when you said you felt so happy you could die
Told myself that you were right for me, but felt so lonely in your company
But that was love and it's an ache I still remember
Cooper:
You can get addicted to a certain kind of sadness
Like resignation to the end, always the end
So, when we found that we could not make sense
Well, you said that we would still be friends
But I'll admit that I was glad that it was over
Blaine (with Cooper):
But you didn't have to cut me off
Make out like it never happened and that we were nothing
And I don't even need your love
But you treat me like a stranger and that feels so rough
No, you didn't have to (stoop so low)
Have your friends collect your records and then (change your number)
I guess that I don't (need that though)
Now you're just somebody that I used to know
Blaine and Cooper:
Now you're just somebody that I used to know
Now you're just somebody that I used to know
Blaine:
Now and then I think of all the times you screwed me over
But had me believing it was always something that I'd done
But I don't wanna live that way,
Reading into every word you say
You said that you could let it go
And I wouldn't catch you hung up on somebody that you used to know
Blaine and Cooper:
But you didn't have to cut me off
(Blaine) Cooper:
(Oh-Oh) Make out like it never happened and that we were nothing
(Ohhh) And I don't even need your love
(Oh-Oh) But you treat me like a stranger and that feels so rough
(Ohhh) No, you didn't have to stoop so low
(Oh-Oh) Have your friends collect your records and then change your number
(Ohhh) I guess that I don't need, that though
Now you're just somebody that I used to know
Blaine:
Somebody, (Band Members: I used to know)
Somebody
Cooper (with Band Members):
Now you're just somebody (that I used to know)
Blaine:
Somebody, (Band Members: I used to know)
Somebody
Cooper (with Band Members):
Now you're just somebody (that I used to know)
Blaine and Cooper:
I used to know
That I used to know
I used to know
Somebody
Trivia
- Apparently, the Drummer is performing back up vocals for this song. Source It is unknown if the other band members are backing up as well.
- Gotye had mixed views on the performance, originally feeling it sounded awful, to congratulating Glee for having two men singing it, stating that was his original idea for the song.
Errors
- In the first chorus, at the line "You didn't have to stoop so low," the shot changes to show Cooper (who sings that line) without his mouth moving.
