Tell me somebody
What was it like when you saw your whole life go under?
Did you cry?
Was there someone there or were you on your own?
Why can't two people
Leave well enough alone?
Just being here is lonely
So why don't you just give me a chance to come into your life?
Did you hear me when I told you I loved you?
Forgetting what you might not know
Somebody's leavin' tonight
Somebody's leavin' tonight
So why don't you let me take you down to old Mexico
Where we can dream?
None so sweet as the dream I have of holding you
Did you hear me when I told you I loved you?
Forgetting what you might not know
I've tried so many ways just to tell you
But you left me here jus to hold my own
And I know that you been hurting, 'cause I've been hurtin' too
Somebody's leavin' tonight
Somebody's leavin' tonight
Tell me somebody
What was it like when you saw your whole life go under?
Did you cry?
