Somebody Help Me Forget
Music & lyrics by Jac Mestel

I get the feeling you’ve been wasting my time,
But I can’t for the life of me stop
You’d be right if you said I was stupid
I’ll skirt that cause I hear it a lot

Can we help it if we’re desperate and lonely?
Everybody just wants to be loved
God, I’m praying hard that I’m not the only one left
Somebody help me forget

I get the feeling I have no time to lose,
But I can’t for the life of me start
You’d be right if I said I was crazy,
I’ll ignore it cause I might fit the part

Can we help it if we’re tired and jealous?
Everybody just wants someone close
God I’m praying hard that I’m not the only one left
Somebody help me forget

I get the feeling that it’s time to get up,
But I can’t for the life of me move
You’d be right if you said I was lazy
I’ll pretend that I’ve got nothing to prove

Can we help it if we’re dying of boredom?
Everybody just wants a cheap thrill
God I’m praying hard that I’m not the only one left
Somebody help me forget

I get the feeling you’ve been wasting my time,
But I can’t for the life of me stop
You’d be right if you said I was stupid,
I’ll skirt that cause I hear it a lot

Can we help it if we’re desperate and lonely
Everybody just wants to be loved
God I’m praying hard that I’m not the only one left
Somebody help me forget
