Somebody Who Would Die For You Lyrics - Singles - Dean Tyler

He was beggin' by the mini-mart 

Who'd guessed he had a purple heart 

Scars underneath his bearded chin 

Betcha don't remember him 

'Cause you were runnin' twenty minutes late 

An' he was only gettin' in your way 

But when you brushed by that wounded soul 

Last Thursday afternoon 

You met somebody who would die for you 

Phone rang at eight last night 

Who'd call at such a crazy time? 

Gettin' kids into bath and bed 

Can't talk about all he said 

All he wanted was a Saturday 

Mornin' conversation down at Bakers' Cafe 

You weren't thinkin' when you told you dad 

Try back in a week or two 

But you heard somebody who would die for you 

Chorus: 

Somebody who cared so much 

They'd gladly give it all up 

If that's what they had to do 

Runs deeper than flesh and blood 

Heaven knows no greater love 

Than the sacrafice they made 

To see you through 

Somebody who would die for you 

Just another Colorado day 

Mornin' practice for a high school play 

But out of nowhere the bullets came fast 

Shaddered more than the library class 

They asked her if she believed in your name 

An' she didn't even hesitate 

God I can't help but wonder if 

I'd been in her shoes 

Would I'd be 

Somebody who would die for you
