A Reason For Living by Status Quo

( rossi / parfitt )

I felt in need of some loving
So i sat down on a wall
I tried to find a reason for living
But i couldn't find a reason at all
So i owned up to my maker
And i started to say a prayer
I waited for an answer
But there wasn't anybody there

I thought there should have been someone
But i wasn't quite sure who
It finished me to find there was no-one
That i could take my troubles to
So i knelt down by my bedside
And i started to say a prayer
It was when i asked for nothing
I could feel that there was somebody there

I'm looking still, but it's easy
'cos i know which way to go
It doesn't matter how long it takes me
'cos there's someone there to help me who knows
All the things that i am after
All the loving that i want to share
It's so hard but i don't mind
'cos there really is somebody there

I felt in need of some loving
So i sat down on a wall
I tried to find a reason for living
But i couldn't find a reason at all
So i owned up to my maker
And i started to say a prayer
I waited for an answer
But there wasn't anybody there
