Well, he always knows when I'm runnin' smooth
Yeah, he can tell he knows me so well
And when I'm in trouble he's who I'll turn to
Now he's there when I can't stand up alone
He's there when I fall too hard
And I'm not ashamed to call out his name
And say darlin' I need you when I'm fallin' apart.

He keeps me in one piece
He is my strength when I tire
He shows me when to be at ease
And when to be on fire.

Well, I'm a girl well-versed
And well rehearsed in the ways of this world
Still I am not that strong
I have needed so long to be on the road
That would lead me to the love of this boy
Now he's there when I can't be there alone
And he's there when I've gone too far
And I'm not afraid to stand up and say
"Boy, I love you and I need you" when I'm fallin' apart...
