lyrics

Everybody’s got somebody to run to.
Why don’t you run to me?
Everyone says they’re almost always
running from something.

So I wait alone for the words of my father to come true,
and I hope that these words that I’m saying are all true.

Everybody’s got somebody.
Why don’t you have someone, too?
It can’t be so hard, just say,
“Hello, I’d love to be with you.”

Well, it’s not so easy.
You see, that never appealed to me.

Everybody’s got somebody.
There was a time when I had someone,
but Someone didn’t seem to think
that I was worth more than a phone call.

You looked so good in photographs,
but you didn’t live up to the film.
