All the time you'd spent alone in your roomnWith all the dreams you'd set asidenThey've all come back again and none too soonnAnd some might say just in timennBut do you really need someonenDo you really need someone to stay?nnThe things you said to me I took to heartnI didn't want to and I triednTo let them drift away, to stand apartnAnd just for once take this in stridennBut I really need someonenYou know I really need someonenYou know I really need someonenYou know I really need someone to staynnAnd ring that evening bellnAnd all is wellnAutumn leaves, but you can't tellnIf it's lost or if it's just falling downnnAs all your pilots die one by onenTheir ashes scatter to the windnYou'll circle far and wide, face towards the sunnYou'll never fly this high againnnIt's when you're gonna need someonenYou know you're gonna need someonenIt's when you're gonna need someonenYou know you're gonna need someonenYou know you're gonna need someonenYou know you're gonna need someonenYou're gonna need someonenYou're gonna need someone
