Some happy day, after I'm long gone away   Someone will make you see   You were in love with me   And know what it's like to be   Where I'm standing now   And then you'll find me somehow     You better hope I'm around when you need me   You know I won't be around when you need me   You better know what to do when you need me   No one told me what to do when I needed you     I was a man, now I'm just a bird sitting in your hand   You tell me that it's through   But when it comes to you   That I was in love with you   You'll wonder where to fly   When someone tells you goodbye     Maybe now you cannot see   But I know just what you need   'Cause you're looking for someone like me   And after I leave you here   You'll spend some lonely years   And you won't need my tears   To know what I've been through   And need me like I needed you
