Your bags are packed and waitin’
By the door
If you really want me to go it’s alright
Don’t worry ’bout me darling
I’ll get by
But I’ll need someone to hold me
When I cry.

I’ll need someone to tell me
I’ll get over you
I’ll need a friend to lean on
When I’m feeling blue.

So sit down here beside me
After you say goodbye
‘Cause I’ll need someone to hold
Me when I cry.

But I know the taxi’s waitin’
For you to go
But darling tell him that you’ve
Changed your mind
And stay until tomorrow
‘Cause I know tonight
I’ll need someone to hold me
When I cry.

I’ll need someone to tell me
I’ll get over you
I’ll need a friend to lean on
When I’m feeling blue.

So sit down here beside me
After you say goodbye
‘Cause I’ll need someone to hold me
When I cry…
