Somebody Else

Who was that drunken fool
 At four A.M. with the moon in your sills?
 Singing love me, love me do
 Singing like a broken Romeo will
 You wonder if he's changed that much
 Lost the booze, lost his touch
 You gave your body honey, I could tell
 That you were saving yourself
 For somebody else
 Like a bird into flight
 Somebody else
 Is dancing under the lights
 With my darling tonight
 Now the sky is threatening
 Those black clouds are God's furrowed brow
 Soon we'll be soaked to the skin
 And we'll say goodbye somehow
 I can't see the forest for the trees
 I saw you coming but I couldn't see
 That I'd love you in spite of myself
 Now somebody else
 Is getting your best
 Somebody else
 The lucky fool has been blessed
 Now somebody else
 Watches as you undress
 Ah, loneliness
 And the taxi driver's stoned
 He stares at the sidewalk and not the road
 I saw you standing as we rolled by
 Stopped to offer, but you declined
 Oh, me, oh, my, oh, well
 I guess you're waiting for
 Somebody else
 Please have mercy on our souls
 If we lose our treasure, lose our gold
 These human hearts can turn so cold
 As we watch tragedy unfold
 On somebody else
 Somebody else
 Can always be found
 If I'm not around
