...Not somebody just to get me through the night.

(This is from a song. What is the meaniing of 'get me through the night'?)

I think it means "help me make it to the morning without wanting to die" or something equally silly!!

Or, you want someone special, not someone just for one night.

The phrase "get me through the night" can generally mean finding solace or support to help get through a difficult or challenging time, particularly during the nighttime when feelings of loneliness or sadness may intensify. In the context of the song, it suggests that the subject desires comfort, companionship, or emotional support during the night when they may be feeling especially vulnerable. The phrase is often used metaphorically to convey a need for someone or something to provide emotional or physical comfort and lend strength during a challenging period.
