Needing Someone
Gene Clark; Gosdin Brothers Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Someone you can depend on
I say that I need somebody too
So put your mind at ease
You know that you can count on
Me for anything you want me to do
I should have told you before
But this time you got through to me
So much more
You say that you need
A way to make your mind up
I need to find out which way to go
If you think you see me
Then maybe we will windup
Bringing back the time that I miss so
You know that there's so much we can do
We could have everything we need
Before we're through and more before we're through
Ah, la la la la
La la la
Ah
