Lyric

Your out there somewhere and you’re cryingAnd I love you, though we’ve never metWait there for me, I’ll recognize youSomeone lonesome, someone hurtin’, someone blueThat’ll be you
We’ll help each other start all overA tear for a tearA shoulder for a shoulderYou’ll be someone that’s born to lose‘Cause I need someone like meTo hold on to
We’ll help each other start all overA tear for a tearA shoulder for a shoulderYou’ll be someone that’s born to lose‘Cause I need someone like meTo hold on to
‘Cause I need someone like meTo hold on to
