Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Son, she said
Have I got a little story for you
What you thought was your daddy was nothin' but a...
While you were sittin' home alone at age thirteen
Your real daddy was dyin'...
Sorry you didn't see him
But I'm glad we talked...
[Chorus]
Oh, I, oh, I'm still alive
Hey, I, oh, I'm still alive
Hey, I, oh, I'm still alive
Hey...oh...
[Verse 2]
Oh, she walks slowly, across a young man's room
She said, I'm ready... for you
I can't remember anything to this very day
'Cept the look, the look...
Oh, you know where, now I can't see, I just stare...
[Chorus]
I, I'm still alive
Hey, I, but, I'm still alive
Hey, I, boy, I'm still alive
Hey, I, oh, I'm still alive, yeah
Ooh, yeah...
Yeah, yeah, yeah...
[Bridge]
"Is something wrong," she said
Of course there is
"You're still alive," she said
Oh, and do I deserve to be?
Is that the question?
And if so... if so
Who answers?
Who answers?
[Chorus]
I, oh, I'm still alive
Hey, I, oh, I'm still alive
Hey, I, but, I'm still alive
Yeah, I, ooh, I'm still alive
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
