Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Somebody, somebody
Come to my side
I'm tired, I'm crying
I'm sick inside
My woman, that woman
Just wasn't right
[Verse 2]
Help me now
Please, my friend
I never felt so bad before
Never, never before
[Verse 3]
So funny, so funny
Just like a show
One name, two people
All in a row
Somebody, somebody
Someone must go
[Verse 4]
Help me now
Please, my friend
I never felt so bad before
Never, never before
[Verse 5]
I was hurt when I was younger
By a woman who was cold
She took my name
She took my body
And she threw away my soul
[Verse 6]
I can't hide, I can't hide my misery
I know my sorrow won't set me free
She did it, d'you see she did it to me
[Verse 7]
Help me now
Please, my friend
I never felt so bad before
Never, never before
