You come to me
Ask me for that money again
You say that you need it
To ease that nagging feeling inside your brain

You know I love you like a brother
That's why I'm holding out on you
I'll give most anything I can
To see that you pull through

You gotta keep fighting for your life
Don't you ever give in
It's such a senseless suicide
Letting the needle win

Life is precious too us all
You got to cling to that thread
It's no use your thinking
You won't be found in some back alley dead

You're telling me you can't stop, no, you can't change
You're caught up in that web
Instead of running, it's time to face up
To those forgotten feelings inside your head

You gotta keep fighting for your life
Don't you ever give in
It's such a senseless suicide
Letting the needle win

Oh, my friend, you're so fragile
You blow like a leaf in the wind
It's time to ask yourself why
You're hiding away, you're locking the door
Don't let no one else in (don't you let nobody in)

You come to me
Ask me for that money again
You say that you need it
To ease that nagging feeling inside your brain

You know I love you like a brother
That's why I'm holding out on you, woah
I'll give most anything I can
To see that you pull through

You gotta keep fighting for your life
Don't you ever give in
It's such a senseless suicide
Letting the needle win

Oh, you gotta keep fighting for your life
Don't you ever give in
It's such a senseless suicide
Letting the needle win

Don't let the needle win
Don't let the needle win
No, don't you ever give in
Don't let the needle win
