Here I am, here I am, driving to the studio with all of our equipment
Here I am, here I am, singing in the microphone while the tape is rolling,
Here I am, here I am, at the photo session smiling at the camera,
There you are, there you are, getting out your money purchasing the record,
Here we are, here we are, by way of stereo making minimal contact.

Is this a substitute?
Is this me?
Well I can't see you and I'm out of your reach,
Here I am (crying)

Here I am, here I am, attending Sunday service, (it's crowded so I watch on the TV in the foyer)
Here I am, here I am, going to the altar, (could this be you next to me?)
Here I am, here I am, getting out my money to buy tonight's cassette,
There you are, there you are, getting out your camera, taking photos for the bulletin,
There you are, there you are, developing the pictures. (is that me there in the crowd?)

You want an autograph,
What is your need?
Mine is for you to know that I really bleed
Here we are (we're crying)

Moving about in our own exclusive spheres,
We touch not, we are not even near,
Here I am, (here I am)
Here I am, (here I am)
Ahhhh.

(Hello, I'm not here, please leave your name and phone number and I'll return your call)
(Umm, never mind, I'll try again later)

Here I am, here I am, there you are, there you are,
Here I am, here I am, there you are, there you are,
Here I am, here I am, there you are, there you are,
Here I am, here I am, there you are, there you are,
Here I am, here I am,
I'm reading a letter that says you like my record.
