I don't wanna see you go,
I want somebody to love me.
Why'd it take so long to know?
I want somebody to love me.
I want somebody to be nice,
see the boy I once was in my eyes.
Nobody's gonna save my life.

We are wicked men
looking for our buckles to loosen.
By the count of ten,
I wanna see somebody human.
And I lost what it was
in the teenage dust
of a downtown Romeo.
In a couple of weeks,
you can tell all the freaks
how you carried my body home.

But, tonight, I crossed the line
Dear Mr Lonely, how much do they know me?
I could find lessons in life,
but once you've earned it,
you've already burned it.

I don't wanna see you go,
I need somebody to love me.
(Need somebody oh oh)
Why'd it take so long to know?
I need somebody to love me.
(Need somebody oh oh)
I want somebody to be nice,
see the boy I once was in my eyes.
Nobody's gonna save my life.

Got my ticket man and
I'm looking for somebody to use it.
I know we pretend, but one of these days
we're gonna lose it.
And I once left town,
when the leaves turn brown,
with a couple of souvenirs.
She was in my car
when we hit that wall,
yeah, you could've moved me to tears.

But, tonight, I crossed the line.
I used to know her
when my house was sober.
I could find lessons in life
Over and over, is it really over?

I don't wanna see you go,
I need somebody to love me.
(Need somebody oh oh)
Why'd it take so long to know?
I need somebody to love me.
(Need somebody oh oh)
I want somebody to be nice,
see the boy I once was in my eyes.
Nobody's gonna save my life.

But, tonight, I crossed the line.
I used to know her
when my house was sober.
I could find lessons in life
Over and over, is it really over?

I don't wanna see you go,
I want somebody to love me.
(Need somebody oh oh)
Why'd it take so long to know?
I want somebody to love me.
(Need Somebody oh oh)
Yeah, I want somebody nice,
see the boy I once was in my eyes.
