Todd Rundgren Hope I'm Around lyrics

Some happy day, after I'm long gone away
Someone will make you see
You were in love with me

And know what it's like to be
Where I am standing now
And then you'll find me somehow

You better hope I'm around when you need me
You know I won't be around when you need me
You better know what to do when you need me
No one told me what to do when I needed you

I was a man, now I'm just a bird
Sitting in your hand
You tell me that it's through
But when it comes to you

That I was in love with you
You'll wonder where to fly
When someone tells you goodbye

You better hope I'm around when you need me
You know I won't be around when you need me
You better know what to do when you need me
No one told me what to do when I needed you


Maybe now you cannot see
But I know just what you need
'Cause you're looking for someone like me
And after I leave you here

You'll spend some lonely years
And you won't need my tears
To know what I've been through
And need me like I needed you

You better hope I'm around when you need me
You know I won't be around when you need me
You better know what to do when you need me
No one told me what to do

(You know that I needed you)
You better hope I'm around when you need me
You know I won't be around when you need me
You better know what to do when you need me

You better hope I'm around when you need me
You know I won't be around
