I was on the ropes when you needed my handsI was on the dope when you needed me downI was on the hip when you needed my heartI was on the hopes that you needed me nowAnd I was on the roof and you were the starsI was on your lips, you were in my heartI was on the first boat out of this townYou were on the front porch waving me outI was on the ropes when you needed meAnd I was on the dope when you needed to knowI was on the cuff when you needed my sleeveI was on the roots when you needed to growMore than ever I can see into the back of my mindAnd I find me alone, me alone, me alone babyBe alone, be alone, be alone babyI was on the ropes when you needed my handsI was on the dope when you needed me downI was on the hip when you needed my heartI was on the hopes that you needed me nowMore than ever I can see into the back of mindBaby I find me alone, me alone, me aloneAnd I was on the moon in the back of my vanWe were in the bedroom talking on old tin cansAnd we’ll be alone, be alone babyBe alone, be alone, be alone, be alone
