I bet you never knew, bet you never knew
That you'd be my safety, yeah, baby
I bet you never knew, knew, on my lonely nights
It all comes back to you, ah, yeah, baby
I bet, I bet, you know, you know
When it's alright for me to come home again

I love a friend like you, you
Sometimes, I wonder why, sometimes I wonder why
I like to live inside, I like to live inside
I'm someone who holds back the rain, oh
I bet, I bet, it's real, it's real, you posin', my baby
I try from time-to-time, oh, to hold back
These lonely nights, but that

And I know, we'd be somethin' if we tried
I bet you never knew, bet you, bet you
That you'd be my safety, safety, safety, yeah
I bet you never knew, never knew, yeah
On my lonely nights, it all falls back to you, oh, back

You saved my soul
Reminded me of why love's so blue
Two trees of green, to all of me
I've been down for so long
My love, my love

I'm holding out, oh baby, ha-ah-ah
You saved my soul, saved my soul
Reminded me of why love's so blue
Two trees of green, oh, to all of me
I've been down for so long
My love, my love
I'm holdin' out, oh baby
