When You Might Need Me |
LyricsWhen You Might Need Me Around© 2020 Lyrics & Music by Bob Bentley Key: D BPM: 94 Pop Waltz Verse 1 I have watched you so closely, all the time I have known You've been thinking of no one but you You've been reckless with lovers and shown distrust for others Even when they've been faithful and true How you act is a crime but I've held out all this time Hoping someday that I'll see it through Chorus: Now this is when you might need me, when you might call When you've used all your friendships, when your backs to the wall When the people you've leaned on, have all gone to ground When there's nowhere for love to be found You might be losing the game but I'm here just the same That is when you might need me around. Verse 2 I look on and wonder, how you don't realise Why your life just keeps falling apart How being thoughtless and cruel, treating others like fools Might not be way to their hearts I've been ignored and frustrated, but I've always waited Hoping one day you'll notice I'm there Bridge I need to get near you, I want you to know There is love if you don't look too far There's a life you can live when you don't take, you just give And in time you can change how you are Chorus: Now this is when you might need me, when you might call When you've used all your friendships, when your backs to the wall When the people you've leaned on, have all gone to ground When there's nowhere for love to be found You might be losing the game but I'm here just the same That is when you might need me around. You might be losing the game but I'm here just the same That is when you might need me around. |
