[Intro: Nelly Furtado]
I don't wanna be left in this war tonight
Am I alone in this fight?
Is anybody out there? Yeah
Don't wanna be left, left in this world behind
Say you'll run to my side
[Verse 1: K'naan]
Something 'bout Mary
Never won a pageant
Never felt pretty
Never looked like Cameron
Diaz was her last name
Always been abandoned
Keep your head up
Baby girl, this your anthem
There goes Hannah
Showin' off her banner
Rockin' that crown
Make them boys go bananas
When you're insecure about yourself
It's a fact
You can point a finger
But there's three pointing back
[Pre-Chorus: K'naan]
I can see her cryin' out, yeah (Yeah)
"Is there anybody out there?" (There)
She's really countin' on your love
Still struggling uphill
But you act like you don't care
Right now she could really use a shoulder
Hanging onto the edge 'til it's over
She's crying for your love tonight
Lonely is hard to survive, she said
[Chorus: Nelly Furtado & K'naan]
I don't wanna be left in this war tonight
Am I alone in this fight?
Is anybody out there? Yeah
Don't wanna be left, left in this world behind
Say you'll run to my side
[Post-Chorus: Nelly Furtado & K'naan, Both]
Is anybody out there? Yeah yeah, yeah-eah-eah
Is anybody out there? Yeah yeah, yeah, yeah-eah-eah (Somebody, anybody)
[Verse 2: K'naan]
His name was Adam
When his mom had him
Dad was a phantom
Never took a look at him
Grew up mad and
Antisocial
Hated outdoors
Always in playing Madden
Adam was lonely
Drugs were the only
Way out of his own life
Now he's slowly
Losing his fire
Close to retire
With one last hope
He puts his arms up higher
[Pre-Chorus: K'naan]
I can see him cryin' out, yeah (Yeah)
"Is there anybody out there?" (There)
He's really countin' on your love
Still struggling uphill
But you act like you don't care
Right now he could really use a shoulder
Hanging onto the edge 'til it's over
He's crying for your love tonight
Lonely heart to survive, he said
[Chorus: Nelly Furtado & K'naan, K'naan]
I don't wanna be left in this war tonight
Am I alone in this fight? (Oh)
Is anybody out there? Yeah
Don't wanna be left, left in this world behind
Say you'll run to my side
Is anybody out there? Yeah
[Bridge: Nelly Furtado & K'naan]
If you feel the way I feel
Like you've been talking to yourself
Well this one's for everyone who's felt invisible (Uh)
Lonely in a crowded room
Searching for someone like you (Yeah)
Can't do it all alone (No one can, baby)
Can't do it all alone, oh (No one should, baby)
Is anybody out there? (Somebody, anybody)
Is anybody out there? Yeah, yeah, yeah (I'm right here for you)
Is anybody out there? (Oh)
[Chorus: Nelly Furtado & K'naan, Nelly Furtado]
I don't wanna be left in this war tonight (Yeah, tonight)
Am I alone in this fight? (Fight)
Is anybody out there? Yeah
Don't wanna be left, left in this world behind
Say you'll run to my side (Side)
[Post-Chorus: Nelly Furtado & K'naan, Both]
Is anybody out there? Yeah yeah, yeah-eah-eah
(Don't wanna do it all alone) I don't wanna do it all alone
Is anybody out there? Yeah yeah, yeah, yeah-eah-eah
(I need your love, take me home) I need your love, take me home
Is anybody out there? Yeah yeah, yeah-eah-eah
(No one said you should be all alone) No one said you should be all alone
Is anybody out there? Yeah yeah, yeah, yeah-eah-eah
(I'm right here, right here)
[Outro: Nelly Furtado]
Is anybody out there?
