Life goin' nowhere, somebody help me Somebody help me, yeah I'm stayin' alive Life goin' nowhere, somebody help me, yeah We can try to understand The New York Times' effect on man Whether you're a brother or whether you're a mother You're stayin' alive,

So tell me, why do I keep holding on? Oh, why do I keep staring down the barrel of a loaded gun? Then tell me why can't I just can't let go? Somebody knows, then tell me She said she loved me, all night long I couldn't help but let her string my heart

Running blind I'm running blind I've been crawling on my knees Looking for anything To keep me from drowning Now I'm running backward Somebody help me see I'm running blind Can't find the answers Promises have been turned to lies

Take your time coming home. Hear the wheels as they roll. Let your lungs fill up with smoke. Forgive everyone. She is here and now she is gone We had plans, we can't help but make love. It's a beautiful thing when you love somebody, And I love somebody.

Somebody somebody Help me now please my friend I never felt so bad before Never never before Come to my side I'm tired I'm crying I'm sick inside My woman that woman

Have mercy, I'm in a world of trouble now I'm being held by the State Patrol I am charged with traffic of the forbidden And I almost finished doing my parole Now, I'm on my way back down town Somebody help me, have mercy on my soul I go to court tomorrow

Come along to the riverside. Sit down now I just want to hear somebody else whine If you've got tomorrow, I've got a blade We can dig a hole into an old book Keep our secrets there I know of another place beneath some overgrown vine. I can cut them back

(All I ever wanted) All I ever wanted (All I ever needed) (Was a father) I swear to tell the truth and nothing but the truth, So help me GOD I just felt like telling the story of my life Felt like, maybe somebody could be inspired, you know?

So tell me, why do I keep holding on? Oh, why do I keep staring down the barrel of a loaded gun? Then tell me why can't I just can't let go? Somebody knows, then tell me She said she loved me, all night long I couldn't help but let her string my heart

Take your time coming home. Hear the wheels as they roll. Let your lungs fill up with smoke. Forgive everyone. She is here and now she is gone We had plans, we can't help but make love. It's a beautiful thing when you love somebody, And I love somebody.
