Song Lyrics

I hate to see you bumming
But boy, I saw it coming
That girl just wasn't meant for you
I see you going through 'em
And nothing I can do, and
I could kick myself for not telling you
The way I feel about you, held back so long

If you need somebody
To be the one to see you through
If you want somebody
Who knows you just the way I do
If you're tired of searching, baby
And your heart's about to run aground
You only got to turn around
'Cause I've been waiting

Never could have guessed it
Best friends since we were kids
But now I lose it every time that you're near
With every new dead end
It's getting harder to pretend
When I know all you need is standing right here
The way I feel about you, held back so long

If you need somebody
To be the one to see you through
If you want somebody
To understand you like I do
If you're tired of searching, baby
And your heart's about to run aground
Only got to turn around

And when you're all alone
And your heart keeps saying
You just can't take it
Just take a look around
And you just might find
I'm a chance worth taking

The way I feel about you, a love so strong

If you need somebody
To be the one to see you through
If you want somebody
To understand you like I do
If you're tired of searching, baby
Your heart's about to run aground
Only got to turn around
'Cause I've been waiting

Waiting, baby
Ooh, I been waiting on you

George Marinelli, Bonnie Raitt
