Also recorded by: Suzanne Klee


As recorded by JANIE FRICKE:

Your bags are packed and waiting by the door
If you really want to go, well it's alright
Don't worry 'bout me darlin', 'cause I'll get  by
But I'll need someone to hold me when I cry

I'll need someone to tell me that I'll get over you
And I'll need a friend to lean on when I'm feelin' blue
So sit down here beside me after you say goodbye
'Cause I'll need someone to hold me when I cry

(Instrumental Break)

The taxi cab is waiting for you to go
But darlin', tell him that you've changed your mind
I'm stayin' till tomorrow 'cause I  know tonight
That I'll need someone to hold me when I cry

I'll need someone to tell me that I'll get over you
And I'll need a friend to lean on when I'm feelin' blue
So sit down here beside me after you say goodbye
'Cause I'll need someone to hold me when I cry
And I'll need someone to hold me when I cry

Well I know the taxi's waiting for you to go
But darling, tell him that you've changed your mind
And stay until tomorrow, 'cause I  know tonight
I'll need someone to hold me when I cry

I'll need someone to tell me I'll get over you
I'll need a friend to lean on when I'm feelin' blue
So sit down here beside me after you say goodbye
'Cause I'll need someone to hold me when I cry
