Lyrics

I'm staring down a stream of sweet impressions I'm waiting just to sense that special presence I feel I wanna need somebody And they can say I'm fine There's nothing wrong with me Somebody sees Don't you believe me, honey I crawled up on the stage and felt so sleazy But when I saw their faces it came easy It freed me Believe you me And if you're gonna love somebody You gotta lose some pride But you can't be part of somebody else Didn't they tell you, honey Alright Just like you said about your old boyfriend And how he screamed his wasted song to the wind And also, you were talking about the teenage mom The cellar stairs that she was crying upon Said you could tell me about a pissed-off kid Oh and I'm sure he'll be ashamed what he did I'm even feeling for his desperate and doped-out dad So dumb he doesn't know when he's feeling bad My friend he told me that I can't depend On anything that doesn't come from within Oh but my God, how am I ever gonna help the world When I can't even heal the heart of my girl I got a need that I just can't see through I gotta guess that I'm exactly like you And more and more I get a tightness 'bout right here in my chest You lie in bed all day just getting depressed Oh it's so bad I wanna break that wall That always seems to cut me off from you all Oh but I guess I should accept the way the world, as it stands It's spinning totally outside of my hands Lost in the stars, that are singing their light Across a hundred million miles And if you're gonna love somebody You gotta lose some pride But you can't be part of somebody else Didn't they tell you, honey And if you're gonna love somebody You gotta lose some pride But you can't be part of somebody else Didn't they tell you, honey You gotta love somebody You gotta love somebody But you can't be part of somebody else Didn't they tell you, honey
