[FRIENDS]
Bobbie
Bobbie
Bobbie, baby
Bobbie, honey
Booboo
Bobbie, darling
Bobbie, we've been trying to call you
Bobbie, sugar
Bobbie, sweetie
Sweetheart
Angel, I've got something to tell you
Kiddo
Bobbie, love
Bobbie, honey
Bobbie, we've been trying to reach you all day
Bobbie, baby
Bobbie
The kids were asking
Bobbie, sugar
Bobbie there was something I wanted to say
Bobbie baby
We left a message
Bobbie

[BOBBIE]
Stop!
What do you get?
Someone to hold you too close
Someone to hurt you too deep
Someone to sit in your chair
To ruin your sleep

[PAUL]
That's true, but there's more than that

[SARAH]
Is that all you think there is to it?

[HARRY]
You've got so many reasons for not being with someone, but
Bobbie, you haven't got one good reason for being alone

[LARRY]
Come on, you're on to something, Bobbie. You're on to something

[BOBBIE]
Someone to need you too much
Someone to know you too well
Someone to pull you up short
And put you through hell

[JENNY]
You see what you look for, you know
[JOANNE]
You're not a kid anymore, Bobbie. I don't think you'll ever be a kid again, kiddo

[PETER]
Hey, buddy, don't be afraid it won't be perfect. The only thing
To be afraid of really, is that it won't be

[DAVID]
Don't stop now. Keep going

[BOBBIE]
Someone you have to let in
Someone whose feelings you spare
Someone who, like it or not
Will want you to share
A little, a lot

[SUSAN]
And what does all that mean?

[LARRY]
Bobbie, how do you know so much about it when you've never
Been there?

[HARRY]
It's much better living it than looking at it, Bobbie
[PETER]
Add 'em up, Bobbie. Add 'em up

[BOBBIE]
Someone to crowd you with love
Someone to force you to care
Someone to make you come through
Who'll always be there
As frightened as you
Of being alive
Being alive
Being alive
Being alive

[JAMIE]
Blow out you candles, Bobbie, make a wish
Want something! Want something!

[BOBBIE]
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
Make me alive
Make me 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, make me come through
I'll always be there
As frightened as you
To help us survive
Being alive
Being alive
Being alive!
