Someone You Need - Howard Jones

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
