Somebody hold me too close
Somebody hurt me too deep
Somebody sit in my chair
And ruin my sleep
And make me aware
Of being alive, being alive

Somebody need me too much
Somebody know me too well
Somebody pull me up short
And put me through hell
And give me support
For being alive (Being alive)
Make me alive (Being alive)
Make me alive (Being alive)

Make me confused, mock me with praise
Let me be used, vary my days
But alone is alone, not alive!

Somebody crowd me with love
Somebody force me to care
Somebody let me come through
I'll always be there
As frightened as you
To help us survive (Being alive)
Being alive (Being alive)
Being alive (Being alive)
Being alive!
