Shelter Me Lyrics


Everybody needs a little place they can hide
Somewhere to call their own
Don't let nobody inside
Every now and then we all need to let go
For some it's the doctor
For me it's rock and roll
For some it's a bottle
For some it's a pill
Some people wave the Bible
Cause it's giving them a thrill
Others point their finger
If they don't like what they see
If you live in a glass house
Don't be throwing rocks at me

We all need a little shelter
Just a little helper to get us by
We all need a little shelter
Just a little helper ooo, and it'll be alright

Check out Mr. Politician in his suit and tie
But when the doors are closed
There ain't nothin' he won't try
Meanwhine Mr. Medicine's
treating his best friend's wife
Tipper lead the war against the record industry
She said she saw the devil on her MTV
To look into the cabinet
It takes more than a key
Just like Jimmy's skeletons
And his ministry

We all need a little shelter
Just a little helper to get us by
We all need a little shelter
Just a little helper ooo, and it'll be alright

Hit it now

For some it's the needle
For some it's the kill
Some people wave the Bible
'Cause it's giving them a thrill
You can spend your money
Before you get your pay
With a toss of the dice
You can piss it all away

We all need a little shelter
Just a little helper to get us by
We all need a little shelter
Just a little helper ooo, and it'll be alright

Shelter Me
  • This song is about how everyone has their own vices, no matter how small they are; and that people shouldn't look down on others just because their vices are different.
  • Like most Cinderella songs, this one was written by their lead singer, Tom Keifer , who told us in 2013: "When I wrote it, it was one of my favorites and still is one of my favorites. Sometimes, that's all you have to go by is your own personal taste. I've certainly tried to stay true to the music that I love, and when I'm writing a song, I always say that you're making records, first and foremost, for yourself; for the love of making music that you love, that you play, that you like to sing. From that point, you hope that other people like it."
