I Need You (For Someone)

I need you to keep me straight

When the world don't seem so great

And it's hard enough you know

I need you to be around

When my conscience brings me down

And the world feels so obscure

I want you to be the one

Who tells me off when I do wrong

And you know I can be bad

I need you, I need you

Say you'll stay, make my day

Now what have I done?

Was it something I said? Oh dear

I need you to turn me off

When you think I've said enough

To the extent of being a bore

I need you to tell me no -

Slap my wrists and send me home

Tell me I can't come again

Now why are you crying?

Have I gone too far - again?
