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
