When I think of those east end lights Muggy nights, the curtains drawn In the little room downstairs Prima donna, Lord, you really should have been there Sittin' like a princess perched in her electric chair And it's one more beer and I don't hear you anymore We've all gone crazy lately My friend's out there rolling 'round the basement floor (Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh) And someone saved my life tonight Sugar bear (sugar bear) You almost had your hooks in me Didn't you, dear? You nearly had me roped and tied Altar-bound, hypnotized, sweet freedom Whispered in my ear You're a butterfly And butterflies are free to fly Fly away High away Bye, bye (Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh) Never realized the passing hours of evening showers Slip noose hanging in my darkest dreams I'm strangled by your haunted social scene Just a pawn, outplayed by a dominating queen It's four o'clock in the morning Damn it, listen to me good I'm sleeping with myself tonight Saved in time Thank God my music is still alive (Aah-aah-aah-aah-aah) And someone saved my life tonight Sugar bear (Sugar bear, sugar bear) You almost had your hooks in me Didn't you, dear? You nearly had me roped and tied Altar-bound, hypnotized, sweet freedom Whispered in my ear You're a butterfly And butterflies are free to fly Fly away High away Bye, bye (Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh) I would have walked head-on into the deep end of the river Clinging to your stocks and bonds Paying your H-P demands forever Coming in the morning with a truck to take me home Someone saved my life tonight Someone saved my life tonight Someone saved my life tonight Someone saved my life tonight Someone saved my life tonight So save your strength and run the field you play alone And someone saved my life tonight Sugar bear (Sugar bear, sugar bear) (Sugar bear) You almost had your hooks in me Didn't you, dear? You nearly had me roped and tied Altar-bound Hypnotized Sweet freedom Whispered in my ear You're a butterfly And butterflies are free to fly Fly away High away Bye, bye Someone saved, someone saved (Someone saved my life tonight) (Someone saved my life tonight) Someone saved, someone saved (Someone saved my life tonight) (Someone saved my life tonight) Someone saved, someone saved (Someone saved my life tonight) (Someone saved my life tonight) Someone saved, someone saved (Someone saved my life tonight) (Someone saved my life tonight) Someone saved, someone saved (Someone saved my life tonight) (Someone saved my life tonight) Someone saved, someone saved (Someone saved my life tonight) (Someone saved my life tonight) Someone saved, someone saved (Someone saved my life tonight)

“Someone Saved My Life Tonight” foi lançada como o único single do álbum *Captain Fantastic and the Brown Dirt Cowboy* em 20 de junho de 1975.
A canção tem 6 minutos e 45 segundos, quase o dobro da duração típica de um single, e Elton John recusou cortar a faixa para adequá‑la ao rádio.
Apesar do comprimento, o single alcançou a posição nº 4 na Billboard Hot 100 dos EUA e nº 2 no RPM Top Singles do Canadá.
A letra autobiográfica aborda a tentativa de suicídio de Elton John, refletindo um momento crítico de sua vida pessoal.
Após a gravação deste álbum, Elton John dispensou os membros originais da sua banda – Dee Murray e Nigel Olsson – marcando a última aparição deles em um single por oito anos.
