Being Alive

Bobby...

Bobby...

Bobby baby...

Bobby bubi...

Robby...

Robert, darling...

Bobby, we've been trying to call you...

Bobby... Bobby... Bobby baby... Bobby bubi...

Angel, I've got something to tell you...

Bob... Rob-o... Robby, love... Bobby, honey...

Bobby, we've been trying to reach you all day...

Bobby... Angel... Bobby baby... Bobby... Darling...

The kids were asking, Bobby

Bobby... Robert... Robby... Bob-o...

Bobby, there was something we wanted to say...

Sweetheart... Bobby... Sugar... Robert... Bobby bubi...

What have you been up to, kiddo?

Your line was busy...

Bobby...

Stop!

What do you get?

Someone to hold you too close

Someone to hurt you too deep

Someone to sit in your chair

To ruin your sleep

That's true, but there's more than that

Is that all you think there is to it?

You've got so many reasons for not being with someone

But Robert, you haven't one good reason for being alone

Come on

You're on to something, Bobby

You're on to something

Someone to need you too much

Someone to know you too well

Someone to pull you up short

To put you through hell

You see what you look for, you know

You're not a kid anymore, Robby

I don't think you'll ever be a kid again, kiddo

Hey, buddy

Don't be afraid that it won't be perfect...

The only thing to be afraid of really is that it won't be!

Don't stop now!

Keep going!

Someone you have to let in

Someone whose feelings you spare

Someone who, like it or not

Will want you to share

A little, a lot...

And what does all that mean?

Robert, how do you know so much about it

When you've never been there?

It's much better living it than looking at it, Robert

Add 'em up, Bobby

Add 'em up

Someone to crowd you with love

Someone to force you to care

Someone to make you come through

Who'll always be there

As frightened as you

Of being alive

Being alive, being alive, being alive

Blow out the candles, Robert, and make a wish

Want something

Want something!

Somebody hold me too close

Somebody hurt me too deep

Somebody sit in my chair

And ruin my sleep

And make me aware

Of being alive, being alive

Somebody need me too much

Somebody know me too well

Somebody pull me up short

And put me through hell

And give me support

For being alive

Make me alive

Make me alive

Make me confused

Mock me with praise

Let me be used

Vary my days

But alone is alone, not alive

Somebody crowd me with love

Somebody force me to care

Somebody make me come through

I'll always be there

As frightened as you

To help us survive

Being alive, being alive

Being alive!
