Critical reception
The song has received mixed reviews from music critics. Kevin John Coyne of Country Universe rated the song a D, stating until McEntire put out something better, he would keep listening to "Consider Me Gone." Matt Bjorke of Roughstock gave the song 4 and a 1/2 stars out of 5, stating that "in the hands of a less-seasoned vocalist this song could’ve been something horribly lacking but in Reba’s hand’s it’s a remarkable success."

Somebody To Love Me
by: Kellie PicklerSometimes the night seems so long
When you lie in bed all alone
And tomorrow seems so far away
I don't wanna live another day this way
Scared to let someone in
Can't bear to get hurt again
But my body needs to feel a touch
Someone come and wake me up
I just want somebody to love me
I just need somebody to hold me
Somebody to love me
Don't wanna let life pass me by
Never knowing what it's like
To be as real as real can be
To share my life and know my dreams
I just want somebody to love me
And I just need somebody to hold me
Somebody to love me
'Cause I'm hurt and I'm scared and I'm lonely
All I want is somebody to want me
'Cause I've got so much to give
I just want somebody to love me
I just need somebody to hold me
Somebody to love me
