Lyrics

Life Saver

[Verse: Robert Lamm]

Just when I found myself

Back against the wall

You saved my life

With a telephone call

Far across the sea

The thought of me

I never thought I'd ever see

The happy days you brought to me

[Bridge: Robert Lamm, (Bandmates)]

Lifesaver (Lifesaver)

Lifesaver (Lifesaver)

Lifesaver (Lifesaver)

Hey, lifesaver (Lifesaver)

Play on!

[Instrumental]

[Outro: All]

You're a lifesaver honey

I'm a lot braver too

You're a lifesaver baby

Do anything for you

You're a lifesaver honey

I'm a lot braver too

You're a lifesaver baby

I'd do anything for you

You're a lifesaver honey

You're a lifesaver honey

I'm a lot braver too

I'm a lot braver too

You're a lifesaver baby

You're a lifesaver baby

Do anything for you

Do anything for you

You're a lifesaver honey

You're a lifesaver honey

I'm a lot braver too

I'm a lot braver too

You're a lifesaver baby

You're a lifesaver baby

Do anything for you

Do anything for you

You're a lifesaver honey

You're a lifesaver honey

I'm a lot braver too

I'm a lot braver too

You're a lifesaver baby

You're a lifesaver baby

Do anything for you

Do anything for you

You're a lifesaver honey

You're a lifesaver honey

I'm a lot braver too

I'm a lot braver too

You're a lifesaver baby

You're a lifesaver baby

Do anything for you

Do anything for you

You're a lifesaver honey

You're a lifesaver honey

I'm a lot braver too

I'm a lot braver too

You're a lifesaver baby
