Something for the Rest of Us Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I was a stranger, and you came to my side
And you said "oh, you're alright now"
And you were so knowing
I felt so lost and confused

[Chorus]
Oh, I need you there
When the nightmares and dreams have come true

[Verse 2]
I barely knew you, but you talked til' you laughed
Til' you cried out so loud "someone save me"
Oh, black streaks of Maybelline run down your cheeks again
I prayed for answers, you take the chances or refuse

[Chorus]
Oh, I need you there
When the nightmares and dreams have come true
Oh, I need you there
When the nightmares and dreams have come true

[Bridge]
Yeah, we belong
Yeah, we belong
Yeah, we belong
Yeah, we belong
[Chorus]
Oh, I need you there
When the nightmares and dreams have come true
Oh, I need you there
When the nightmares and dreams have come true

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
