Lyric Something To Fall Back On

If I gave you just a bit more time
Do you think that you would make up your mind?
You can t expect that a flower will grow
Until you get around to giving it more
Like it s only

Something to fall back on
Something to fall back on
Something to fall back on

Like a crumpled dollar hidden in your hat
For the subway home when there s no welcome mat
You d be left with nothing if it weren t for that
When you need to find it it s right behind you

Remember when you were the talk of the town
And you didn t care if I was around
But still you kept me in the back of your head
Just like the teddy bear that you took to bed
I was only something to fall back on

And to wake up lonely is your deepest dread
So you stay connected by a tiny thread
Though you d rather try for something else instead
When you need to find me I m right behind you

I know I m only
Something to fall back on

I don t know what makes me think I ve the right
To tell you what is most important in life
But after all I guess I just don t care
And if you need me I will always be there
Cause when I just imagine how it will be
Then I guess it s something to fall back on
Something to fall back on for me

I need to know you ll need me sometime
Everybody needs somebody to fall back on
Fall back on me
Nobody s going nowhere
You can call me anytime
You can fall back on me
You can call on me
I m waiting on you babe
When your world is falling down
And there s no one else around
And you re sitting, waiting by the phone
You can call me and I won t leave you alone
