The flowers are wilting,
My feelings are dead,
The rain's falling down
Like something never said.
The wind's attacking me madly,
My thoughts, feelings and body are numb.
I'm watching people walk around in anoraks,
Well, it's alright for some.

Now I'm all alone and freezing;
They've all gone to get shelter,
But I'm stuck outside; no home to go to.
The rain's falling helter-skelter,
I wish everything would just get better.
All I want is a little warm,
Is that too much to ask for?
I just want shelter from this storm.

I can't feel anything now,
It's so deadly cold,
The wind's hands are reaching out,
So it can take me in its gripping hold.
Lots of people are crying and whinging,
Begging for things they really don't need
But when someone wants and needs something badly,
It's a never-done deed.

All I want is a little love and affection,
All I need is someone to care.
All I want is a massive mansion,
All I need is shelter; doesn't really matter where.
All I want is sympathy,
All I need is understanding,
All I want is someone to realize,
Someone to like me as me.

I can't help where I'm standing,
I can't help what shoes I'm in.
I can't help what hand I've been dealt,
I can't help the life I'm living,
I can't help everything that's happening,
I can't help being me.
I can't help what you think, and,
I can't help it if you don't like what I'm destined to be.
