Sea of faces
Rolling on the big wave
Wish that I could dive right in
Shiny faces
Glowing in the light rays
Smiling at me, sink or swim
I put my words upon their lips
I put my body at their finger tips
And
It feels like somebody loves you
Somebody understands
It gets like you gotta be there
You gotta see those hands
It's my party
I don't have to impress
I don't have to try too hard
Yeah it's my party
I don't have to care less
I can always play my part
They know my face and they know my name
They know my shamelessness
But not my shame
And
It feels like somebody loves you
Somebody understands
It gets like you gotta be there
You gotta see those hands
Reaching out, reaching up for somebody
And I'm the only one they see
Lucky break just as well they don't realise
That I need them much more
Than they need me
Hello home boy
Welcome to the real world
Say what planet have I been on
Time to wake up
Time to smell the roses
Who's gonna love me when they've gone
What will I do without my wishing well
What will I say if I can't talk about myself
I may be crazy, you can call me mad
I call it simple you call it sad
But
It feels like somebody loves you
Somebody understands
It gets like you gotta be there
You gotta see those hands
