[Verse 1: Ed Kowalczyk]
Born with your back to the God that
Spit you out on the riverbed
Angry at who? Me?
You better back up, fool
I bet you took a gun to school, too

Now, nobody's takin' your candy
You just keep on livin' this tragedy
La-la-la-la-la-la-la
To each his own, but...

[Chorus: Ed Kowalczyk]
I'll wait for you to understand
'Cause we need each other
We gotta love each other
Yeah

[Verse 2: Ed Kowalczyk]
Born with your back to the God that
Picked you up by your puppy-scruff
Angry at who? Me?
You better back up, fool
And be grateful that the real me's always hiding from you

Now, nobody's takin' your bicycle
Maybe somebody should take your microphone
La-la-la-la-la-la-la
To each his own, but...
[Chorus: Ed Kowalczyk]
I'll wait for you to understand
That we need each other
We gotta love each other (I'll wait for you to understand)
That we need each other (I'll wait for you to take my hand)

[Verse 3: Tricky]
Someone should take your microphone
Someone should leave their life at home
Someone will take your bubblegum
Someone will take your life and run

Always, listen always
And you're always, walking hallways

Try again, lie again
I don't admit
That you don't know love
I don't make love
That you don't show love
That you don't know love
That you won't know love

[Chorus: Ed Kowalczyk]
I'll wait for you to take my
I'll wait for you to take my hand, yeah
'Cause we need each other
You know, we gotta love each other
'Cause we need each other, yeah
We gotta love, gotta love each other
We need each other
Yeah, we gotta love each other
We need each other, yeah
We gotta love - gotta love each other!
