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 'em on   And as my anger cool   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
