Hope I'm Around - Todd Rundgren

Some happy day, after I’m long gone away

Someone will make you see

You were in love with me

And know what it’s like to be

Where I’m standing now

And then you’ll find me somehow

You better hope I’m around when you need me

You know I won’t be around when you need me

You better know what to do when you need me

No one told me what to do when I needed you

I was a man, now I’m just a bird sitting in your hand

You tell me that it’s through

But when it comes to you

That I was in love with you

You’ll wonder where to fly

When someone tells you goodbye

You better hope I’m around when you need me

You know I won’t be around when you need me

You better know what to do when you need me

No one told me what to do when I needed you

Maybe now you cannot see

But I know just what you need

'Cause you’re looking for someone like me

And after I leave you here

You’ll spend some lonely years

And you won’t need my tears

To know what I’ve been through

And need me like I needed you

You better hope I’m around when you need me

You know I won’t be around when you need me

You better know what to do when you need me

No one told me what to do, you know that I needed you

You better hope I’m around when you need me

You know I won’t be around when you need me

You better know what to do when you need me

You better hope I’m around when you need me

You know I won’t be around when you need me…
