Somebody Lyrics - J. Geils Band

I didn't take the warning 

I really didn't care 

I had already gone too far 

To let them steal my share 

So, like a fool I took 'em on 

And as my anger cool 

I realized I could take all mine 

And skip off with theirs, too 

I know I must be crazy 

I'm bound to wake up dead 

Somebody, somebody 

Waitin' outside my back door 

Somebody, somebody 

Tryin' to even up the score 

I figured I should lay real low 

And stayed away from town 

I covered up all my moves 

So, it'd be hard to track me down 

But I started gettin' shaky 

And I paced around the floor 

Hiding out all alone 

I couldn't take much more 

Just sitting 'round here waitin' 

Is drivin' me up the wall 

Somebody, somebody 

Waitin' outside my back door 

Somebody, somebody 

Tryin' to even up the score 

So, I called up my old friend Marlene 

Who was lookin' for some fun 

I got drunk and like a fool 

I told her, what I'd done 

I heard them knockin' at my door 

They got to me at last 

It don't take much to figure out 

How they'd found me out so fast 

And when I looked for my Marlene 

I saw that she was gone 

Somebody, somebody 

Waitin' outside my back door 

Somebody somebody 

Tryin' to even up the score 

Somebody, somebody 

Waitin' outside my back door 

Somebody, somebody 

Tryin' to even up the score 

Somebody, somebody 

Waitin' outside my back door 

Somebody, somebody 

Tryin' to even up the score
