Some happy day, after I'm long gone away
Someone will make you see
You were in love with me
And know what it's like to be
Where I am standing now
And then you'll find me somehow
You better hope I'm around when you need me
You know I won't be around when you need me
You better know what to do when you need me
No one told me what to do when I needed you
I was a man, now I'm just a bird
Sitting in your hand
You tell me that it's through
But when it comes to you
That I was in love with you
You'll wonder where to fly
When someone tells you goodbye
You better hope I'm around when you need me
You know I won't be around when you need me
You better know what to do when you need me
No one told me what to do when I needed you
Maybe now you cannot see
But I know just what you need
'Cause you're looking for someone like me
And after I leave you here
You'll spend some lonely years
And you won't need my tears
To know what I've been through
And need me like I needed you
You better hope I'm around when you need me
You know I won't be around when you need me
You better know what to do when you need me
No one told me what to do
(You know that I needed you)
You better hope I'm around when you need me
You know I won't be around when you need me
You better know what to do when you need me
You better hope I'm around when you need me
You know I won't be around
