When you need me, call my name
'Cause without you, my life just wouldn't be the same
If you want me, come sunny skies or rain
When you need me, just call my name
If you miss me, I'll be there
To brush the sunlight from your hair
I'll be there to guide you, when trouble walks beside you
If you need me, I'll be there
And when this dirty world, has been cold to you
I got two strong arms, oh waitin' to hold you
And when those mean days come along
We'll stand together and we'll take 'em on
So if you need me, just call my name
When you need me, call my name
'Cause without you, my life just isn't the same
'Cause when this world kicked me around
Baby, you picked me up off the ground
So if you need me, I'll be there
