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'm standing now
And then you'll find me somewhere
And you'll be around when you need me
You know I'll 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 head
You tell me that
It's true
But when it comes to you
That I was in love with you
You're wondering where to fly
When someone tells me
You better let go
You know I'll 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
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 need you
You'll need me
You know that I won't be your man
You'll need me
No one told me what to do
You know that I need it
You'll need me

No one told me what to do
You know that I won't be your man
You'll need me
But I want to love you
You know that I don't know what to do
You know that I want me
And no one told me what to do
You know that I won't be your man
You need me
No one told me what to do
You know that I won't be your man
You better hold me up
