If you need me, why don't you call me?
Said if you need me, why don't you call me?
Don't wait too long, when things go wrong
I'll be there, yeah, where I belong
Said if you want me, why don't you send for
me?
Said if you want, want, want, all you got
to do is send for me
Don't wait too long, just pick up your phone
And I'll be there, right there where I belong
People always told me, darling, that you didn't mean me no good
But I know deep down in my heart, I done the best I could
And one of these days, darling, it won't be
long, you're going to come walking through that
door
And I know in my mind these are the very words
you're going to say to me:
I still love you, always thinking of you
I still love, love, love, always thinking
of you
Don't wait too long, when things go wrong
I'll be there, right there where I belong
