Time and time again I've felt these wall's of plaster
Closing in
And more than once I've felt that lonely lonely feeling
Wondering why and where I've been
Just about the time, I think I can't hold on
You're always there to keep me hanging on and I say

I never knew how much a man needed a woman
(No I never)
I never knew how much a boy needed a girl
(Needed a girl)
I never knew how much I needed you

Day after day I join the rat race
Tryin' to make the most of it
I keep on falling down down the ladder
Still trying to stay on top of it
Just when I was sure
Nothing could get no better
Oh I realize
I still love you more than ever

(Chorus)

Today I watch the sun set on the freeway
Strangled on the poison air
But miles beyond, on the other end
I know, you'll always be waiting there
Girl you treat me
With your kindest hand
And in my heart, in my mind
And I'm so glad

(Chorus)
