Lyrics for I Need You (For Someone)

I need you to keep me straight When the world don't seem so great And it's hard enough you know I need you to be around When my conscience brings me down And the world feels so obscure I want you to be the one Who tells me off when I do wrong And you know I can be bad I need you, I need you Say you'll stay, make my day Now what have I done, Was it something I said Oh dear I need you to turn me off When you think I've said enough To the extent of being a bore I need you to tell me no Slap my wrists and send me home Tell me I can't come again Now why are you crying Have I gone too far again
