ROBERT [speaking]: Stop!...What do you get? [Sings]
Someone to hold you too close,
Someone to hurt you too deep,
Someone to sit in your chair,
To ruin your sleep.
PAUL: Thats true, but theres more to it than that.
SARAH: Is that all you think there is to it?
HARRY: Youve got so many reasons for not being with someone, but
Robert,
you havent got one good reason for being alone.
LARRY: Come on, youre on to something, Bobby. Youre on to something.
ROBERT:
Someone to need you too much,
Someone to know you too well,
Someone to pull you up short
And put you through hell.
DAVID: You see what you look for, you know.
JOANNE: Youre not a kid anymore, Robby. I dont think youll ever
be a kid again, kiddo.
PETER: Hey, buddy, dont be afraid it wont be perfect. The only thing
to be afraid of really is that it wont be.
JENNY: Dont stop now. Keep going.
ROBERT:
Someone you have to let in,
Someone whose feelings you spare,
Someone who, like it or not,
Will want you to share
A little, a lot.
SUSAN: And what does all that mean?
LARRY: Robert, how do you know so much about it when youve never
been there?
HARRY: Its much better living it than looking at it, Robert.
PETER: Add em up, Bobby. Add em up.
ROBERT:
Someone to crowd you with love,
Someone to force you to care,
Someone to make you come through,
Wholl always be there,
As frightened as you
Of being alive,
Being alive,
Being alive,
Being alive.
AMY: Blow out the candles, Robert, and make a wish. *Want* something!
Want *something*!
ROBERT:
Somebody, hold me too close,
Somebody, hurt me too deep,
Somebody, sit in my chair
And ruin my sleep
And make me aware
Of being alive,
Being alive.
Somebody, need me too much,
Somebody, know me too well,
Somebody, pull me up short
And put me through hell
And give me support
For being alive,
Make me alive .
Make me confused,
Mock me with praise,
Let me be used,
Vary my days.
But alone is alone, not alive.
Somebody, crowd me with love,
Somebody, force me to care,
Somebody, make me come through,
Ill always be there,
As frightened as you,
To help us survive
Being alive ,
Being alive,
Being alive!
