Last month, I was thinking about "So How Come (No One Loves Me)" and discovered a small feature that's present in each verse. In each line with "someone" ("Wants someone," "Needs someone," "Loves someone"), "someone" is sung with a melisma and with each syllable sung to a different pitch (B A G). Musically, this gives a sense of the breadth of possibility of "someone."
I referenced the Everly Brothers' version and discovered that it too has this feature. (The Beatles transposed their version down a whole-step though. The "someone"s in the Everlys' version are sung to the pitches C# B A.)
