I don't wanna see you go
I want somebody to love me
Why'd it take so long to know?
I want somebody to love me
I want somebody to be nice
See the boy I once was in my eyes
Nobody's gonna save my life

We are wicked men
Looking for our buckles to loosen
By the count of ten
I wanna see somebody human
And I lost what it was
In the teenage dust
Of a downtown romeo
In a couple of weeks
You can tell all the freaks
How you carried my body home

But, tonight, I crossed the line
Dear mr lonely, how much can they know me?
I could find lessons in life
But once you've earned it
You've already burned it

I don't wanna see you go
I want somebody to love me
(Somebody to love oh oh)
Why'd it take so long to know?
I want somebody to love me
(Somebody to love oh oh)
I want somebody to be nice
See the boy I once was in my eyes
Nobody's gonna save my life

Got my ticket man and
I'm looking for somebody to use it
I know we pretend, but one of these days
We're gonna lose it
And I once left town
When the leaves turn brown
With a couple of souvenirs
She was in my car
When we hit that wall
Yeah, you could've moved me to tears

But, tonight, I crossed the line
I used to know her
When my house was sober
I could find lessons in life
Over and over, it's already over

I don't wanna see you go
I want somebody to love me
(Somebody to love oh oh)
Why'd it take so long to know?
I want somebody to love me
(Somebody to love oh oh)
I want somebody to be nice
See the boy I once was in my eyes
Nobody's gonna save my life

But, tonight, I crossed the line
I used to know her
But my house was sober
I could find lessons in life
Over and over, is it really over?

I want somebody to love me
(Somebody to love oh oh)
Why'd it take so long to know?
I want somebody to love me
(Somebody to love oh oh)
I want somebody to be nice
See the boy I once was in my eyes
Nobody's gonna save my life
