Lyrics

[Verse 1]

Son, she said

Have I got a little story for you

What you thought was your daddy was nothin' but a...

While you were sittin' home alone at age thirteen

Your real daddy was dyin'...

Sorry you didn't see him

But I'm glad we talked...

[Chorus]

Oh, I, oh, I'm still alive

Hey, I, oh, I'm still alive

Hey, I, oh, I'm still alive

Hey...oh...

[Verse 2]

Oh, she walks slowly, across a young man's room

She said, I'm ready... for you

I can't remember anything to this very day

'Cept the look, the look...

Oh, you know where, now I can't see, I just stare...

[Chorus]

I, I'm still alive

Hey, I, but, I'm still alive

Hey, I, boy, I'm still alive

Hey, I, oh, I'm still alive, yeah

Ooh, yeah...

Yeah, yeah, yeah...

[Bridge]

"Is something wrong," she said

Of course there is

"You're still alive," she said

Oh, and do I deserve to be?

Is that the question?

And if so... if so

Who answers?

Who answers?

[Chorus]

I, oh, I'm still alive

Hey, I, oh, I'm still alive

Hey, I, but, I'm still alive

Yeah, I, ooh, I'm still alive

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
