You sure needed somebody Someone to listen to you Good times and your bad You know it needn’t be a good friend A priest or a lover Or a woman from you past
Of course you have your inhibitions But a drink from a bottle Will soon set those aside It’s no good crying for your sanity Because crying might help But you troubles won’t say goodbye
THE SHUFFLE - Lyrics - continued
(Chorus… Because you just didn’t have a right And you were going down And the current in the whirlpool of your mind Was bringing you down And the lifelines that you grabbed They weren’t strong enough by half So you just let go the rope And let you body drown)
You sure needed somebody Someone to listen to you Good times and your bad Don’t you know you had your family But you were so damn high Your plane would never land
You lived your life like a hurricane Playing hand playing fast Breaking all the rules Up and down but never stable Well it’s too late now because You’re dead and we all were fools
