You'll Still Be Needing Me
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
If I had my way, I would say "It's over darling"
If I could be brave, I would say "I'm leaving you"
But I must stay on 'till all hope is gone
'Cause girl I know
Anywhere you go
You'll still be needing me
If you feel you can't make it on your own my darling
I'll be on your side when you can't find anyone
But for now let's try just to get by
Let the tide roll out
Let the tide roll in
It's time to sink or swim
la-la-la-la-la, lala-la-la-lalalala
la-la-la-la-la, lala-la-la-lalalala
If I could be strong, I'd be gone tomorrow morning
Still I play the part making life a broken toy
But I must stay on
'Till all hope is gone
'Cause girl I know
Anywhere you go
You'll still be needing me
Let the tide roll out
Let the tide roll in
It's time to sink or swim
la-la-la-la-la, lala-la-la-lalalala
la-la-la-la-la, lala-la-la-lalalala
