[Verse 1]
It's a world epidemic
And the whole world is in it
I lost a brother to AIDS
Still, he laughed every day
I see the door but I'm not going in
A taste of gin and a little sin
Is all that I can afford
I won't do no more

[Chorus]
Oh well

[Verse 2]
Why is everything going fast?
Afraid my heart is built to last
A shortness of breath is really frightening
I feel myself but I need to feel love
There's too many people walking behind me
I need you beside me, please come and find me
It's been so cold, the light could blind me
God help me to find me

[Chorus]
Oh well, oh well, oh well
Oh well, oh well, oh well
