It Hurts to Love Somebody - Doug Sahm

i could drag you from the ocean

i could pull you from the fire

and when you’re standing in the shadows

i could open up the sky

and i could give you my devotion

until the end of time

and you will never be forgotten with me by your side

and i don’t need this life

i just need

i’ve got nothing left to live for

got no reason yet to die

but when i’m standing in the gallows

i’ll be staring at the sky

cause no matter where they take me

death i will survive

and i will never be forgotten with you by my side

cause i don’t need this life

i just need

somebody to die for

somebody to cry for when i’m lonely

when i’m standing in the fire

i will look him in the eye

and i will let the devil know that

i was brave enough to die

and there’s no hell that he can show me

that’s deeper than my pride

cause i will never be forgotten

forever i’ll fight

And I don’t need this life

I just need…

Somebody to die for

Somebody to cry for

When I’m lonely

And I don’t need this life

I just need…

Somebody to die for

Somebody to cry for

When I’m lonely

Don’t go gentle into that good night

Rage on against the dying light
