This is a song where, the singer is praising God for the gift that he has received in his girl.
It can show teens that we should respect the opposite sex, and praise God that we can have that special person, etc.
"Love Somebody" points out that GOD loves us--we don't need to search for validation through excessive consumerism or vanity. Our feeble attempts at personal fulfillment withOUT God drive us destructively toward our own UNhappiness, feeding unhealthy and unholy addictions in a fruitless search for meaning. God loves us. That is enough. Let's love ourselves enough to cultivate THAT relationship.
Our hearts can grow cold and hard after we have been hurt or let down by those we love. God wants us to give Him our petrified hearts so that He may break them and submit our hearts fully to Him.
