Being Alive

by Stephen Sondheim

Somebody hold me too close

Somebody hurt me too deep

Somebody sit in my chair

And ruin my sleep

And make me aware

Of being alive

Somebody need me too much

Somebody know me too well

Somebody pull me up short

And put me through hell

And give me support

For being alive

Being alive

Make me alive

Make me confused

Mock me with praise

Let me be used

Vary my days

But alone is alone

Not alive

Somebody hold me to close

Somebody force me too care

Somebody make me come through

I'll always be there

As frightened as you

To help us survive

Being alive

Being alive

BEING ALIVE
