I came here
Because I knew
I'd be welcome...

And because somehow you always understand

You seem to have a way with lonely people,
And you always were my greatest helping hand...

Now once again
I'm here
To take advantage...

'Tho I don't deserve
The arms I left I alone.....

I need to know there's someone
Who still loves me;
And I need a shoulder
To cry on....

I overlooked the love
You tried so hard to give...

The love I never seem to understand....

I always stayed just long enough to hurt you...
And what little love I gave
Was second hand....

Now once again
I'm here
To take advantage...

'Cause once again
The one I love is gone....

I need to know there's someone
Who still loves me;
And I need a shoulder
To cry on....

Yes, I need to know there's someone
Who still loves me;
And I need a shoulder
To cry on....
