When I grow up know that I'll make my own mistakes
And if I slip up please be the rock that doesn't shake
Don't you know we need somebody, just somebody to take our hand
Don't you know we need somebody, somebody who will understand

When I grow old please stay by me as I fade
And if I grow cold please be the flame that holds the faith
Don't you know we need somebody, just somebody to take our hand
Don't you know we need somebody, somebody who will understand

Darling oh if I stray from the one that you love
Darling no I won't drift too far from your arms
Darling you bring me back to myself, to myself
Darling you're that someone who will make me go on

When I grow weak please lay by me as a friend
And if I can't speak know that I'll love you til the end
Don't you know that you're somebody:
My somebody who understands

Don't you know that you're somebody
Somebody now until the end

Darling oh if I stray from the one that you love
Darling no I won't drift too far from your arms
Darling you bring me back to myself, to myself
Darling you're that someone who will make me live on
Darling you're my someone who will make me live on
