Discover the story of the song > Some Folks – Alice Cooper

The protagonist in these lyrics is expressing how they can't live without something, although they don't explicitly say what it is. They mention that some people love certain things, like seeing the color red or feeling pain, but for the protagonist, whatever it is, they can't live without it. They say it makes their skin crawl, which implies that it may be something they find uncomfortable or unsettling. They ask their partner, who is referred to as "she", to save them from whatever this thing is because they feel like they aren't a man without it. They repeat this plea for their partner to save them throughout the song. In the end, they emphasize that they really can't live without whatever it is, and they don't even want to think about life without it.
