(Rick Wakeman)

Producer for Bonnie: Rick Wakeman

Chorus 1:

Does anyone know my name?

Is there anybody there?

You're as near me as you can ever be

Watching me

Watching me

Tag1:

Does anyone love me?

Does anyone need me?

Nobody knows my name

Takes my blame

Feels my pain

Chorus 2:

Does anyone care for me?

I just need a life to share

All my life I've searched

For someone just like you

Is there anybody there?

Is anyone there?

Anyone there?

Verse 1:

I don't know why you make me wanna stay

'Cos there's no-one left to love

I'm losing my life for a reason

I'm losing my life 'cos of you

Tag 2:

Is anybody really there?

Bridge:

No-one waits for no-one

No-one cares at all

Nowhere left to hang around

No-one left to call

Patience is my virtue

By virtue of my shame

Broken pieces everywhere

Everything's a game

Where have all the people gone

That once were in my life

Why has everybody gone away?

Chorus 3:

Does anyone know my name?

Or does anybody care?

There's a reason

Why I know I have to stay

So is anybody there?

I'm losing my life for a reason

I'm losing my life 'cos of you

I want to know you're out there just for me

Chorus 4:

I'm tired of waiting here for you

Now I've made up my mind

You're no good

I don't need you

I don't care anymore when you cry

I'm sending my love far away

With a piece of my heart

And a tear for each day

That I cried

So there must be a reason for living

There must be a reason for loving

It's all right

It's all right

Tag 4:

Will anyone really care

If I just walk away

With a tear in each eye

And a reason not to stay?

Does anyone really know me?

Does anyone really care?

Is there anybody there?
