Bottom Line

[Verse 1]
You tell me that you love me
But do you really give a damn?
You say you wanna help me
But you don't know the scam
Well, do you know the scam?
By giving me your money, you rob me of my soul
Victim to your delusion, I've got no room to grow, no
I’ve gotta let you know

[Chorus]
I need someone who knows where to take me
I need someone who knows how to make me
I need someone who can set these wheels on fire
Set 'em on fire

[Verse 2]
I'd like to make it easy, but the truth is gonna hurt
I know you wanna please me
But mister, we don't work
Well, you know we don't work, huh
I know your good intentions
But boy, your faith is blind
I can't fall prey to your illusion and sign the bottom line
You'd be lucky to get a pen in my hand

[Chorus]
I need someone who knows where to take me
I need someone who knows how to make me
I need someone who can set these wheels on fire
Set 'em on fire

[Bridge]
Don't threaten me now with tears and devotion
It takes more than that to set things in motion
I don't wanna hurt you, I wish you the best
But in all honesty, well you've just flunked the test

[Verse 3]
I'm not a politician
But I'm trying to speak with tact
If you really are my friend
Do you wanna hold me back?
Why do you hold me back?
I'm pourin' out my heart now, you've gotta understand
It's not a passing moment
It's my life that's in your hands
Oh, don't you understand?

[Chorus]
I need someone who knows where to take me
I need someone who knows how to make me
I need someone who can set these wheels on fire
Set 'em on fire

I need someone who knows where to take me
I need someone who knows how to make me
I need someone who can set these wheels on fire
Set 'em on fire

[Outro]
I need someone
Oh, I really need somebody
Ooh, gimme someone
