[Lyric] Girl in Need (Graham Parker)

When you say you're weary
You sound like a girl in need
When you say you're teary eyed
Just let it water a seed

When you say you're past your prime
Reinvent yourself one more time
Hit the road with a bag of nails
Build a house that withstands the gales and storms

I have lived in darkness
But it wasn't that bad at all
Coz when the light came shining through
Oh what a wake-up call

I was floating in the amniotic
All too easy so narcotic
I once knew a girl who was quite erotic
But she was vacant like an empty pocket

Punch yourself with both your fists
You'll find out that it's nothing like a kiss
It's more like something to cross off your list
But a girl in need has a list so long
No one can find the time to read it
Has she ever thought she really might not need it
Well a girl in need is an everyday sight
Hold her hand you gotta make it right
Give her a light that shines at night
Don't be a scumbag, hold her tight
