Being Alive
by Stephen Sondheim
from "Company"

Somebody hold me too close
Somebody hurt me too deep
Somebody sit in my chair
And ruin my sleep
And make me aware of being alive

Somebody need me too much
Somebody know me too well
Somebody pull me up short
And put me through hell
And give me support for being alive
Being alive
Make me alive

Make me confused
Mock me with praise
Let me be used
Vary my days
But alone is alone, not alive

Someone I have to let in
Someone whose feelings I spare
Someone who, like it or not
Will want me to share
A little — a lot — of being alive
Make me alive

Make me confused
Mock me with praise
Let me be used
Vary my days
But alone is alone, not alive

Somebody crowd me with love
Somebody force me to care
Somebody make me come through
I'll always be there
As frightened as you to help us survive
Being alive
Being alive
Being alive
Being alive
