Feel sick
after every meal I take
Cause I know the life from your burning wheel
won't wait, hey

This sleep I sleep every day
Wipe the cobwebs away
I need to be loved
Christ I'm out of my mind
I need to be loved
I need to be loved

So I turn to you and I say
Thank goodness for the good souls
That make life better
So I turn to you and I say
If it wasn't for the good souls
Life would not matter

Dived straight on your girlfriend
Making her feel like there's gonna be a war, oh
Dived straight in at the deep end
Making you feel like there's gonna be a war

So I turn to you and I say
Thank goodness for the good souls
That make life better
So I turn to you and I say
If it wasn't for the good souls
Life would not matter

One good day of the week and I'll be up again
One good day of the week I'll be higher than the government

So I turn to you and I say
Thank goodness for the good souls
That make life better
So I turn to you and I say
If it wasn't for the good souls
Life would not matter

So I turn to you and I say
You're messing with a good heart
You've gotta take what's you
