The streets here are empty, all the people went home
Well, I was just wondering if you're alone
So how you've been lately? I hear you're a little down
And do you think maybe I could come around?

[Chorus]
I could be someone you need
Wrap you in blankets on dark winter nights
Be your best confidante, pay the right compliment
I could be someone you need

We had coffee on 3rd Street and talked for a time
I still have your letter, I know every line
I hope this ain't coming from way out of the blue
'Cause I got to thinking and I thought of you

[Chorus]

You need someone there when the world isn't fair
Or it's all just too good to be true
Someone to care for you, issue a dare to you
When the moment comes you need to fly, fly

[Chorus]
