Somebody Out There

Written by Eric Woolfson and Alan Parsons

Maybe I'm imagining the things they say about me

Maybe there is really nothing there at all

Standing in the middle while the rumours fly around me

Hiding from a shadow on an empty wall


When my back is turned he's up to something else

And I must not stop believing in myself

Am I dreaming will the nightmare just go on

And never end


Somebody out there, says that he's you

Somebody out there, talks like you do

He calls up your number

And you can't get through somebody out there


Wish that I could run away and leave it all behind me

Wish I wasn't hurt by all the things they say

If I didn't need to know the simple truth about me

Wouldn't it be easier to walk away


And I don't need more confusion in my life

No more pain and disillusion in my life

If I'm dreaming will the nightmare just go on

And never end


Somebody out there, using your name

Somebody out there, you get the blame

There's doubt and suspicion

It's hard to explain somebody out there


And I don't need more confusion in my life

No more pain and disillusion in my life

If I'm dreaming will the nightmare just go on

And never end


Somebody out there, stolen your base

Somebody out there, parked in your space

You've no reservation, he's taken your place

Somebody out there, wasting your time

Somebody out there, using your dime

Your friends think you're crazy

They're way out of line

Somebody out there, says that he's you

Somebody out there, thinks like you do

You stare at the mirror

You're looking into

Somebody out there
