The Times I Needed You

Ooh, this life can surely kick your ass
People smile and say "this too shall pass"
Brother they may never care
But you were always there all the times I needed you

Yes, you were there, but where was I?
(Turning to the wrong protectors)
Letting honest comfort pass me by
(Taking love from love rejectors)
I'd be in free fall (I'd be in free fall)
Too afraid to call all the times I needed you

Friendship, sitting like a dog down at your feet
Kick it, ignore it, but it will still be there

Ooh, my ego lies just like this song
It says keep it to yourself and you'll look strong
All that time-honoured crap just helped me lose my map
All the times I needed you

Friendship, sitting like a dog down at your feet
Kick it, ignore it, but it follows you everywhere

I could be a jerk sometimes
You could be a jerk sometimes
It's all a matter of degrees

Ooh, now I look back and there we are
(Two scared, shaggy-haired, mispaired lunatics)
Pooling all our cash to buy a star
(Look, there we are on the TV)
If I had my own way (had my own way)
I'd let you know today (know today)
That I always needed you
All the times I needed you

Ohh-ohh
