Someone To Believe Lyrics - Damn Yankees

Written by Tommy Shaw, Jack Blades, Ted Nugent 

There was a time 

When a man lived by his word 

And the simple truth 

Was not so hard to take 

When his enemies 

Were thousands of miles away 

And he stood by 

The promises he'd make 

All that I ask for 

All that I need 

Is someone that I can believe 

Yeah 

Just like the air 

That we breathe in a single day 

To a drowning man 

How much do you think he'd pay 

All that I ask for 

All that I need 

Is someone that I can believe 

When I listen to the things you try to say 

Any ordinary man would fade away 

But if you want I'm ready to receive 

I know that I can believe 

Every word you say 

And the love you give away 

Goes straight to my heart 

And everything you do 

And how you follow through 

Can keep us together 

Or tear us apart 

When I listen to the things you try to say 

Any ordinary man would fade away 

But if you want I'm ready to receive 

Well I would not have it any other way 

I know that I 

I know that I 

I know that I can believe 

Yeah 

And I am listening 

To every word you say
