Someone You Need

Howard Jones

Compositor: Duncan Shiek / Howard Jones / Thomas Schuyler

The streets here are empty
All the people went home
Well, I was just wondering if you're alone
So how you've been lately?
I hear you're a little down
And do you think maybe I could come around?

I could be someone you need
Wrap you in blankets on dark winter nights
Be your best confidante
Pay the right compliment
I could be someone you need

We had coffee on 3rd street
And talked for a time
I still have your letter I know every line
I hope this ain't coming from way out of the blue
Cause I got to thinking and I thought of you

I could be someone you need
Keep you from burning in hot summer Sun
Roll you in clover a coat for your shoulder
I could be someone you need

You need someone there
When the world isn't fair
Or its all just too good to be true
Someone to care for you
Issue a dare to you
When the moment comes you need to fly, fly

I could be someone you need
Wrap you in blankets on dark winter nights
Be your best confidante
Pay the right compliment
I could be someone you need
