Something to Live For
I have almost everything a human could desire
Cars and houses, bare skin, rugs to lie before my fire
But there's something missing
Something isn't there
It seems I'm never kissing the one whom I could care for
I want something to live for
Someone to make my life an adventurous dream
Oh, what wouldn't I give for someone who'd take my life?
And make it seem gay as they say it ought to be
Why can't I have love like that brought to me?
My eye is watching the noon crowd
Searching the promenade
Seeking a clue
To the one who will someday be mine
Something to live for
Cars and houses, bare skin, rugs to lie before my fire
But there's something missing
Something isn't there
It seems I'm never kissing the one whom I could care for
I want something to live for
Someone to make my life an adventurous dream
Oh, what wouldn't I give for someone who'd take my life?
And make it seem gay as they say it ought to be
Why can't I have love like that brought to me?
My eye is watching the noon crowd
Searching the promenade
Seeking a clue
To the one who will someday be mine
Something to live for
