Someone to Be Around

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
