You Come Through
Tom Petty · Other Songs - Tom Petty
I hope you never take a swing across town
That would leave me stranded
Oh, little honey pie
There's a lot of people lonely
I've had a few of them scratchin' my back
Wantin' to control me
And they say only fools believe
Anything is guaranteed
But when I need you baby, you come through
When I need you baby, you come through
Oh, baby, nothin' will console me
I could use somebody scratchin' my back
Honey, will you hold me?
'Cause I could never quite believe
Anything is guaranteed
But when I need you baby, you come through
When I need you baby, you come through
Heaven knockin' on your door
Oh, what's the matter, baby?
I guess that's what friends are for
Baby, baby, I'm about to lose it
Little girl, it isn't easy
Can you get me through it
'Cause they say only fools believe
Anything is guaranteed
But when I need you baby, you come through
Oh, when I need you baby, you come through
When I need you baby, you come through
When I need you baby, you come through
You Come Through
