Well let me tell you if you're feeling alone, Instead of whining and moaning, Just get on the phone, tell her you're coming home If you need her, you should be there If you scream in your sleep, or collapse in a heap And spontaneously weep, then you know you're in deep If you need her, you should be there Go Home There's nothing better than affairs of the heart To make you feel so good then tear you apart Make up your mind and stick it out or start again You can't imagine what an effort it takes When you make a mistake And you know in the wake that a heart's going to break If you need her, you should be there But if you're flummoxed and flushed And your heartbeat is rushed Then get out of the slush Tell your dog team to mush If you need her, you should be there, Go Home If you think of her as Joan of Arc She's burning for you get your car out of park If you think of her as Catherine the Great Then you should be the horse to help her meet her fate If you need her, you should be there Go Home You can't believe it but it's true She's given everything to you Now take a moment to be sure Before you give it all to her Well now you're thinking that it's over at last, All your woes in the past But you've got to be fast; put your foot on the gas If you need her, you should be there So now you're out from under the gun, And it's over and done I won't spoil all the fun but if you were the one Then she'll be there if you need her Go Home If you're lucky to be one of the few To find somebody who can tolerate you Then I shouldn't have to tell you again Just pack your bags and get yourself on a plane If you need her, you should be there Go Home
