I need a lady, not somebody shady
need someone to be close to
somebody cozy, not somebody nosy
help me see my whole day through
someone to share the load
somebody to walk the road I live on... live!
good Lord send me, good Lord mend me
send me down someone for me
said I won't be choosy, you could send me a floozy
send me anybody you please
somebody say you will
somebody further still
somebody, send somebody for me
now won't you send me somebody
yeah, somebody
won't you send me somebody
now won't you send me somebody
well, call for somebody, scream loud and bloody
call woman, woman, come on to me
save for tomorrow, share all your sorrow
misery enjoys company (yes it does, yes it does)
somebody say you will
somebody further still
somebody, send somebody for me
somebody say you will
somebody further still
somebody, send somebody for
yeah, I know nobody knows
where it comes and where it goes
I know it's everybody's sin
you got to lose to know how to win
half my life's in books' written pages
live and learn from fools and from sages
you know it's true
all the things come back to you

It ain't easy, livin' like a gypsy.
Tell ya, honey, how I feel.
I've been dreaming,
Floatin' down stream and
Losin' touch with all that is real.
Whole earth lover, keepin' under cover
Never knowin' where ya been.
You've been fadin', always out paradin'
Keepin' touch with Mama Kin.
Well you've always got your tail on the wag.
Shootin' fire from your mouth just like a dragon.
You act like a perpetual drag.
You better check it out,
Cause someday soon you'll have to climb back
on the wagon.
It ain't easy, livin' like ya wanna,
And it's so hard to find piece of mind. Yes it
is.
The way I see it, you've got to say shit.
But don't forget to drop me a line.
Said you're as bald as an egg at eighteen.
And workin' for you dad is just a drag.
He still stuffs your mouth with your dreams.
You better check it out,
Cause someday soon you'll have to climb back
on the wagon.
Keepin' touch with Mama Kin.
Tell her where you've gone and been.
Livin' out your fantasy,
Sleeping late and smoking tea.
Keepin' touch with Mama Kin.
Tell her where you've gone and been.
Livin' out your fantasy,
Sleeping late and smoking tea.
It ain't easy, livin' like ya wanna,
It's so hard to find piece of mind. Yes it is.
