From the recording Seasons of Love
Lyrics
have friends, a lot of friends and one friend's going through this
And another friend's going through another
And sometimes you feel a little bit overwhelmed with just being who you are
You know, if you can identify with that, this song is for you
See everybody only seem to want what they want from me
They take a lot, leave a little, then just let me be
Until the next time, there's a problem, then I see
That everybody only seems to want what they want from me
They say Ark Laci, girl, I'm hurting
Oh, you're working, well even still
You see my problems, help me solve them
Please just listen, here's the spill
Then they say yada, yada, yada, yada, blah, blah, blah
I know you talk to Jesus, so tell me how
To ease this emotional pain that I'm in
You see, because everybody only seem to want what they want from me
They take a lot, leave a little, then just let me be
Until the next time there's a problem, then I see
That everybody only seem to want what they want from me
They say Ark Laci, here's the issue, something's broken, the ball got dropped
I had to call you at last minute, the project's due at now o'clock
Then they say yada, yada, yada, yada, blah, blah, blah
I know that Jesus helps you, so help me now
To fix this situation that my procrastination put me in
They get on my nerves
But um
Every now and then I slip away
And go get quiet and ease my stressed filled day
Might grab a drink, might sit and think and release what weighs me down
I play Monopoly, bingo, tic-tac-toe
Then I write another love song to stay in the flow
Adam Plomaritas, everybody
They say yada, yada, yada, yada, blah, blah, blah
But sometimes they remember to ask me how I'm doing
Or maybe just shoot the breeze
But then the laughter turns to tears. I hear a need and hear the fear
That only disappears when they're loved
Because everybody only seems to want what they want from me
They take a lot, leave a little, then just let me be
Until the next time there's a problem, then I'll see
That everybody only seems to want what they want
That's everybody
