I really didn't care
I had already gone too far
To let them steal my share
So like a fool I took the on
And as my anger grew
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
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 the on And as my anger grew 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 Explain Request ×
