Important In Your Life

(album: Jonathan Richman & The Modern Lovers - 1976)

I'm always gonna have to know I'm important in your life

If you try and come see me and I'm not there
Tell me you tried so I know you care
I want to know that I'm important
In your life
Know that I'm important in your life

I know a girl, she's important to me
When I feel separate from her, I am in misery
Dear, let me know that I'm important
In your life
That's what I tell her: Let me know that I'm important in your life

Hey hey hey hey ho ho whoa
Da da la must always know
Always have to know I'm important
In your life
Always have to know in your life

Tell me when you think of me
Admit that you missed me
I want to know that I'm important
In your life
Know that I'm important in your life

Darling, tell me
Tell me you love me
I'd have to hear how I'm important
In your life
Tell me I'm important in your life

Tell me now, one more time
I want to hear it in verse and rhyme
I have to hear from you that I'm important
In your life
Know that I'm important in your
Not enough to know it
I want to hear it
Know that I'm important
In your life
Know that I'm important in your
Tell me, tell me, make me feel good
Know that I'm important
In your life
Know that I'm important in your life
