Howard Jones Someone You Need Lyrics

The streets here are empty.
all the people went home.
well, I was just wondering,
if you're alone

So how've you been lately?
I hear you're a little down.
and do you think maybe
like I could come around.

I could be someone you need.
wrap you in blankets on dark winter nights.
be your best confidante,
pay the right compliment.
I could be someone you need

We had coffee on 3rd Street
and talked for a time
I still have your letter
I know every line.

I hope this ain't comming
from way out of the blue
'cos I got to thinking and I though of you

I could be someone you need
keep you from burning in the hot summer sun
roll you in clover
a coat for your shoulder
I could be someone you need

You need someone there
when the world isn't fair
or it's all just to good to be true
Someone to care for you
issue a dare to you
when the moment comes
you need to fly, fly

I could be someone you need
wrap you in blankets on dark winter nights
be your best confidante
pay the right compliment
I could be someone ... you need
