I Need Someone to Hold Me

Loretta Lynn · Entertainer of the Year [1973]

(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...
