Someone to hold you too close
Someone to hurt you too deep
Someone to sit in your chair
To ruin your sleep
That's true, but there's more than that
Is that all you think there is to it?
You've got so many reasons for not being with someone
But Robert, you haven't one good reason
For being alone
Come on, you're onto something, Bobby
You're onto something
Someone to need you too much
Someone to know you too well
Someone to pull you up short
To put you through hell
You see what you look for, you know
You're not a kid anymore, Robby
I don't think you'll ever be a kid again, kiddo
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
Don't stop now
Keep going
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
And what does all that mean?
Robert, how do you know so much about it
When you've never been there?
It's much better living it than looking at it, Robert
Add 'em up, Bobby, add 'em up
Someone to crowd you with love
Someone to force you to care
Someone to make you come through
Who will always be there
As frightened as you
Of being alive
Being alive
Being alive
Being alive
Blow out the candles Robert
And make a wish
Want something
Want something
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 let me come through
I'll always be there
As frightened as you
To help us survive
Being alive
Being alive
Being alive
