Lyrics

I need a reason to get up in the morning
I need a reason I should face the day
I need a reason to go on living
Could it be you? Oh no, no, no
I cannot believe just how boring
One man's life can get
Sleep is my full-time occupation
Been feeling more than 1/2 dead
And when I go and stop moving
It's hard for me to start again
And if in the night I stop breathing
I wish you were there to wake me up
Been sitting around for 20 odd years
Now I'm waiting for someone like you to appear
I hope that I sound most since
When I tell you how I feel
This is not how I saw it
You know that it never is
There is always hope, of course
But it's too late for love at 1st sight
All I ever want from life
All I ever need from life is you
Or someone like you
Need a reason to get up in the morning
I need a reason I should get out of bed
I need a reason to go on living
Could it be you? Oh no, no, no
