Lyrics
I Need You...written by John Jump
Run get the net, stretch the canvass, break my fall, here I am again up against the wall.
My tight wire act is out of line, my trapeze trick is slipping fast,
You may as well send in a troupe of clowns.
Chorus:
I need you to see my through these tough and tumble times.
I need you to help me make these sing-song lines all rhyme.
And I need you to help me see the world like you do.
And I love you, simply because you, always stood by me.
Turn down the lights, fold up the chairs, this one-act comedy doesn’t make ‘em laugh any more.
I rehearsed my lines so faithfully, I never missed a cue, but you always knew
It was just an act.
Chorus:
And I need you to see my through these tough and tumble times.
I need you to help me make these sing-song lines all rhyme.
And I need you to help me see the world like you do.
And I love you, simply because you, always stood by me.
I’ll pick myself up, dust myself off, and pick the sawdust from out between my teeth.
I’ll check myself for broken bones, look myself in the mirror,
And I’ll climb that ladder one more time.
Chorus:
And I need you to see my through these tough and tumble times.
I need you to help me make these sing-song lines all rhyme.
And I need you to help me see the world like you do.
And I love you, simply because you, always stood by me.
Yes, I love you, simply because you, always stood by me.
