Sometimes I Need You
Sam Taylor Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

If Ever You Need Me
Say My Name I Will Deliver
If Your Cloud Is Looking Dark
Call Me Up I'll Bring You Silver
And I Don't Know If You've Felt This Before
But There Are Times
That I Go To The Wall
So Sometimes I Need You
Just To Call My Name
Sometimes I Need You
Just To Have My Back
When I'm Falling Down
There Ain't Nothing New
I
Sometimes I Need You
Let Me Know The Truth
When Sorry Just Won't Do
Sometimes I Need You

My Shoulder's Your Rest
When Things Get Too Bad To Mention
Still When I'm Getting Sad
I'm Searching For Your Atention
And I Don't Know If I I've Told You Before
But I Keep Finding Myself At Your Door

Sometimes I Need You
Just To Call My Name

Sometimes I Need You
Just To Have My Back
When I'm Falling Down
There Ain't Nothing New
I
But Sometimes I Need You
Let Me Know The Truth
When Sorry Just Won't Do
Sometimes I Need You
Sometimes I Need You
Sometimes I Need You
I Need You




Sometimes I Need You
There Ain't Nothing... No
