You Needed Me

(album: Only Lonely Sometimes - 1980)

I cried a tear you wiped it dry
I was confused you cleared my mind
I sold my soul you bought it back for me
And held me up and gave me dignity
Somehow you needed me

You gave me strength to stand alone again
To face the world out on my own again
You put me high upon a pedestal
So high that I could almost see eternity
You needed me you needed me

I can't believe it's you I can't believe it's true
I needed you and you were there
I'll never leave why should I leave I'd be a fool
Cause I've finally found someone who really cares

You held my hand when it was cold
When I was lost you took me home
You gave me hope when I was at the end
And turned my lies back into truth again
You even called me friend

You gave me strength to stand alone again
To face the world out on my own again
You put me high upon a pedestal
So high that I could almost see eternity
You needed me you needed me
You needed me you needed me
