someone to be around

i've spent my last ounce of hope

i've got nothing to show for a while now

but if you throw me a rope

i might be able to cope with the down and out

wish i could float

the water's up to my throat

and the calls to my friends they are drowning out

last time we spoke i said i needed you most

i just need someone to be around

oh

someone to be around

oh

someone to be around

my legs start to shiver

my soul starts to quiver

i think of the last time you spoke to me

you said everything has a meaning

oh everything happens for a reason

but when someone's alone the words aren't that strong

and i just long for someone to be around

oh

someone to be around

oh

someone to be around

oh

someone to be around

ooh yeah

see my head is all clouded

from thinking about it

i'm trying to find my peace of mind

but there's no way around it

and you just compound it

by saying that i'm just a waste of time

i said maybe i know this

but choose not to show it

i hope i am able to work it out

but now i will struggle with all of my troubles

and i need someone to be around

oh

someone to be around

ooh

someone to be around

oh

someone to be around

ooh

someone to be around

oh

someone to be around

yeah

ooh

someone to be around

yeah

oh

someone to be around

yeah

ooh

someone to be around
