I didn't take the warning

I really didn't care

I had already gone too far

To let them steal my share

So like a fool I took the on

And as my anger grew

I realized I could take all mine

And skip off with theirs, too



I know I must be crazy

I'm bound to wake up dead



Somebody -- somebody

Waitin' outside my back door

Somebody -- somebody

Tryin' to even up the score



I figured I should lay real low

And stayed away from town

I covered up all my moves

So it'd be hard to track me down

But I started gettin' shaky

And I paced around the floor

Hiding out -- all alone

I couldn't take much more



Just sitting 'round here waitin'

Is drivin' me up the wall



Somebody -- somebody

Waitin' outside my back door

Somebody -- somebody

Tryin' to even up the score



So I called up my old friend Marlene

Who was lookin' for some fun

I got drunk and like a fool

I told her what I'd done

I heard them knockin' at my door

They got to me at last

It don't take much to figure out

How they'd found me out so fast



And when I looked for my Marlene

I saw that she was gone



Somebody -- somebody

Waitin' outside my back door

Somebody -- somebody

Tryin' to even up the score



Somebody -- somebody

Waitin' outside my back door

Somebody -- somebody

Tryin' to even up the score



Somebody -- somebody

Waitin' outside my back door

Somebody -- somebody

Tryin' to even up the score
