(Raymond A. Smith)

He packed his few belongings, left a note and now he's gone
It's hard for me to know he's left me here so all alone
As soon as he's gone far enough and I know he's out of sight
Oh, I'll go all to pieces and I'll cry.

Yes, I need someone to hold me when I cry
Someone who really understand the way I feel inside
When my heart breaks the tears won't stop no matter how I try
And I need someone to hold me when I cry.

I don't know why he left me or what his leavin's for
I guess he didn't need me or love me anymore
He drove me into a world as dark and cold as ice
With no one here to hold me when I cry.

Yes I need someone to hold me when I cry
Someone who really understand the way I feel inside
When my heart breaks the tears won't stop no matter how I try
And I need someone to hold me when I cry...
