lyrics

TO STAY ALIVE I JUST DON’T NEED A WOMAN, BABE
TO STAY ALIVE I JUST DON’T NEED A WOMAN, BABE
AND I WONDER: MAYBE I AM TOO OLD TO SAY THAT I WANT
TO LOVE SOMEONE ON EARTH IN THE DAY I WANT?

TO STAY ALIVE MY STRENGHT IS JUST MY FREEDOM, YEAH
TO STAY ALIVE MY STRENGTH IS JUST MY FREEDOM, YEAH
AND I WONDER WHAT THE FAMILY’S DESTINY WILL BE
WHEN EVERYONE ON EARTH FEELS THE SAME I FEEL?

AND I WONDER: AM I WILLING TO CALM MY PAIN?
‘CAUSE, NO LONGER, YOU’LL TURN ME ON

TO STAY ALIVE I ONLY NEED MY GUITAR, BABE
TO SHOW YOU IN TIME MY FLOWERS AND MY RUBBISH

BUT I FOUND THEN
THAT YOU’RE OUT OF THE GAME AS MUCH AS ME
SO, WHAT THE FAMILY’S DESTINY WILL BE?

AND I WONDER: AM I WILLING TO CALM MY PAIN?
‘CAUSE NO LONGER YOU’LL TURN ME ON
