You come to me-ee, ask me for that money again

You say that you need it

To ease that naggin' feelin' inside your brai-ai-ain

You know I love you like a brother

That's why I'm holdin' out on you

I'll give most anything I can to see that you pu-ull through



You gotta keep fightin' for your life, don't you ever give in

It's such a senseless suicide, lettin' the needle win



Life is precious to us all, you got to cling to that thread

It's no use you thinkin' you won't be found

In some back alley dea-ead

You're telling me that you can't stop no you can't change

You're caught up in that web

Instead of runnin', it's time to face up to those

Forgotten feelings inside your head



You gotta keep fightin' for your life, don't you ever give in

It's such a senseless suicide, lettin' the needle win



Oh my friend you're so fragile

You blow like a leaf on the wind

It's time to ask yourself why you're hiding away

You're lockin' the door, don't let no one else i-i-i-in

(Don't you let nobody in)



You come to me-ee and ask me for that money again

You say that you need it

To ease that naggin' feelin' inside your brai-ai-ain

You know I love you like a brother

That's why I'm holdin' out on you-ou-ou

I'll give most anything I can to see that you pu-ull through



You gotta keep fightin' for your life, don't you ever give in

It's such a senseless suicide, lettin' the needle win

Ah, you gotta keep fightin' for your life, don't you ever give in

It's such a senseless suicide, lettin' the needle win



Don't let the needle wi-in

Don't let the needle wi-in-a
