So, the crowded street points its public finger
Got you running out of town
And everything that made you swing
Is starting to bring you down

Well, if by chance you need help along
Oh, let me be the one to turn you on
Let me be the one, yeah

All gone it seems those broken dreams
Now the bullets start to fly
And it hurts to see reality
Don't you need an alibi?

Well, if by chance you need a friendly song
Well, let me be the one to turn you on
Let me be the one, yeah

Here they come singing songs
With a love they cannot hide
Now the critics dig their pens in
Don't you need someone by your side?

A lonely shadow stands where the sun once shone
Let me be the one
I said let me be the one, to turn you on
Let me be the one, yeah
Let me be the one, yeah
I said let me be the one
