Status Quo

I felt in need of some loving
So I sat down on a wall
I tried to find a reason for living
But I couldnt 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 wasnt anybody there
I thought there should have been someone
But I wasnt 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
Im looking still, but its easy
cos I know which way to go
It doesnt matter how long it takes me
cos theres someone there to help me who knows
All the things that I am after
All the loving that I want to share
Its so hard but I dont 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 couldnt 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 wasnt anybody there
