Being Alive (From "Company")
Someone to hold you too close
Someone to hurt you too deep
Someone to sit in your chair
To ruin your sleep
To make you aware
Of being alive
Being alive
Someone to need you too much
Someone to know you too well
Someone to pull you up short
And put you through hell
And give you support
Is being alive
Being alive
Being alive
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
Is being alive
Being alive
Someone to crowd you with love
Someone to force you to care
Someone to make you come trough
Who will always be there
As frightened as you
To help you survive
Being alive
Being alive
Somebody hold me too close
Somebody hurt me too depp
Somebody sit in my chair
And ruin my sleep
And make me aware
Of being alive
Being alive
Somebody need me too much
Somebody now 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 let me come through
I'll always be there
As frightened as you
To help us survive
Being alive
Being alive
Being alive
Someone to hurt you too deep
Someone to sit in your chair
To ruin your sleep
To make you aware
Of being alive
Being alive
Someone to need you too much
Someone to know you too well
Someone to pull you up short
And put you through hell
And give you support
Is being alive
Being alive
Being alive
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
Is being alive
Being alive
Someone to crowd you with love
Someone to force you to care
Someone to make you come trough
Who will always be there
As frightened as you
To help you survive
Being alive
Being alive
Somebody hold me too close
Somebody hurt me too depp
Somebody sit in my chair
And ruin my sleep
And make me aware
Of being alive
Being alive
Somebody need me too much
Somebody now 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 let me come through
I'll always be there
As frightened as you
To help us survive
Being alive
Being alive
Being alive
