  • Give me love
    Give me hope
    Give me strength
    Give me someone to live for

    Who will light the fire
    That I need to survive?
    Who will be the life blood
    Coursing through my veins?

    Like a river flowing
    That will never change
    I need someone
    I can depend on
    Oh, oh

    'Cause I'm a man of emotions
    Who can't hide the tears
    I'm a man of feeling
    Who can't hide the pain

    I'm alone on the outskirts of town
    Where no one knows my name
    I'm at the point in my life
    Where I need affection
    Oh, oh

    Won't you give me love (give me love)
    Give me hope (give me hope)
    Give me strength
    Give me someone to live for

    Give me love (give me love)
    Give me hope (give me hope)
    Give me strength
    Give me someone to live for

    I need it now
    I need it now

    Someone write me a letter
    I need to know that I'm still alive
    Someone give me a telephone call
    I need to hear a human sound
    Someone open up a door
    And let me out of this place
    I've been caged up for oh so long
    I don't know if I'm living or dying
    Oh, oh

    Someone better give me love (give me love)
    Give me hope (give me hope)
    Give me strength
    Give me someone to live for

    Give me love (give me love)
    Give me hope (give me hope)
    Give me strength
    Give me someone to live for

    I walk alone across the outskirts of town
    I can't control what I'm going through now
    Will you light the fire that I need to survive?
    Will you donate the life blood coursing through my veins?
    Will you open up the door and let me out of this place

    I've been caged up for oh-so long
    I don't know if I'm living or dying
    Oh, oh

    Won't you give me love (give me love)
    Give me hope (give me hope)
    Give me strength
    Give me someone to live for

    Give me love (give me love)
    Give me hope (give me hope)
    Give me strength
    Give me someone
    Someone to live for, I need it now
