Beth Orton Whenever Lyrics

Whenever I need a friend
               It's you that I come round to seeing again
                  You know that I'll always be near
             You're flesh and blood and you're my memory

                      Live on in my memory
                    I send you nothing but love
                         Just wait and see
                    I send you nothing but love
                         Just wait for me
                         wait and see...
                         wait and see...

            Right words, you know all the right words to say
                You don't always mean them my way
                You don't always mean what you say

                     Whenever I need a friend
               It's you that I come round to seeing again
                    And everything that you do
                 Is everything I wouldn't ask of you

                      You can ask me too...

                    I send you nothing but love
                         Just wait and see
                    I send you nothing but love
                         Just wait for me
                         wait and see...
                         wait and see...

            Right words, you know all the right words to say
                You don't have to mean them my way
                  We don't have to mean all we say
