Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Save me, somebody, save me
Save me, somebody, save me, yeah
[Verse 2]
I promised myself after the first romance
I wouldn't give you a second chance
They say if you seek, you're sure to find
Ah, but the closer I get to you, baby
You drive me stone out of my mind
[Verse 3]
Save me! Oh, yeah, save me, yeah, yeah
[Verse 4]
Those who love always give the most
We're crying together from coast to coast
Love leaves us cold and hurt inside
These tears of ours unjustified
[Verse 5]
Begging you to, save me
Yeah, I need somebody to save me, yeah
Hey, hey, hey
[Verse 6]
Yeah
Mmm-hmm
Yeah
Mmm-hmm
[Verse 7]
You lied and said you needed me
You abused my love, set me free
You didn't need me, you didn't want me
Somebody, help me, this man wants to taunt me
[Verse 8]
I'm begging you to, oh, save me
Yeah, please, save me
[Verse 9]
Calling the Caped Crusader, Green Hornet, Kato too
I'm in so much trouble, I don't know what to do
If you think anything about me, save me
Oh yeah, yeah, come on
[Verse 10]
Understand
Save me
Anybody
Save me
Whoa
Whoa, save me
Whoa
Whoa, save me
