I've spent my last ounce of hope,
I've got nothing to show for a while now,
But if you throw me a rope,
I might be able to cope with the down and out
Wish I could float, the water's up to my throat
And the calls to my friends they are drowning out,
Last time we spoke I said I needed you most
I just need someone to be around

Oh, someone to be around
Oh, someone to be around

My legs start to shiver,
My soul starts to quiver
I think of the last time you spoke to me
You said everything has a meaning,
Oh everything happens for a reason
But when someone's alone the words aren't that strong
And I just long for someone to be around

Oh, someone to be around
Oh, someone to be around
Oh, someone to be around
Ooh yeah

See my head is all clouded
From thinking about it
I'm trying to find my peace of mind
But there's no way around it,
And you just compound it
By saying that I'm just a waste of time
I said maybe I know this,
But choose not to show it
I hope I am able to work it out
But now I will struggle with all of my troubles
And I need someone to be around

Oh, someone to be around
Ooh, someone to be around
Oh, someone to be around
Ooh, someone to be around
Oh, someone to be around, yeah
Ooh, someone to be around, yeah
Oh, someone to be around, yeah
Ooh, someone to be around
