I'm staring down a stream of sweet impressions
I'm waiting just to sense that special presence
I feel I wanna need somebody
And they can say I'm fine
There's nothing wrong with me
Somebody sees
Don't you believe me, honey?
I crawled up on the stage and felt so sleazy
But when I saw their faces it came easy
It freed me
Believe you me
And if you're gonna love somebody
You gotta lose some pride
But you can't be part of somebody else
Didn't they tell you, honey?
Alright
Just like you said about your old boyfriend
And how he screamed his wasted song to the wind
And also, you were talking 'bout the teenage mom
The cellar stairs that she was crying upon
Said you could tell me about a pissed-off kid
Oh, and I'm sure he'll be ashamed what he did
I'm even feeling for his desperate and doped-out dad
So dumb he doesn't know when he's feeling bad
My friend he told me that I can't depend
On anything that doesn't come from within
Oh but my God, how am I ever gonna help the world
When I can't even heal the heart of my girl?
I got a need that I just can't see through
I gotta guess that I'm exactly like you
And more and more I get a tightness 'bout right here in my chest
You lie in bed all day just getting depressed
Oh, it's so bad I wanna break that wall
That always seems to cut me off from you all
Oh, but I guess I should accept the way the world as it stands
It's spinning totally outside of my hands
Lost in the stars, that are singing their light
Across a hundred million miles
And if you're gonna love somebody
You gotta lose some pride
But you can't be part of somebody else
Didn't they tell you, honey?
And if you're gonna love somebody
You gotta lose some pride
But you can't be part of somebody else
Didn't they tell you, honey?
You gotta love somebody
You gotta love somebody
But you can't be part of somebody else
Didn't they tell you, honey?
