You say you hate to bother me   Baby, I'll be right there   You're having one of those days   I can see right through this phone   Nothing's out of my way   You can't ask too much   I'm just thankful to be   The one you lean on      So lay your troubles on me   It's what I live for   It makes me feel so complete   It's the reason I was born   Baby, what makes love love   And gives my life meaning   Is to be needed      I know this ain't easy   Sometimes we try so hard   That we just end up overworked and overwhelmed   That's why I've got this shoulder   And two arms open wide   You won't ever have to do it by yourself      So lay your troubles on me   It's what I live for   It makes me feel so complete   It's the reason I was born   Baby, what makes love love   And gives my life meaning   Is to be needed
