Any old lover can bring me flowers
in the summertime
And any old Romeo can scramble
an egg in a pan
And any old cowboy can ride on
a horse with a saddle
But how many brave cowboys
does it take to find one man?
Any old gambler can be on his game
every now and then
And any old blindfolded bowler
can hit a few pins
And it ain't hard to walk tall
when the North wind's
at your back
And it ain't hard
to miss me, Darlin',
when nobody's answering
Truth is that you're only as good
as you are to me now
In this time when the world
seems bitter and dark
And I feel like there's no one
to catch me if I fall
How good will you be
when I need you
to be good to me?
Any old hunter can pose with
the head of a mighty beast
And anyone's game when the bullets
and bows are only for men
And any old sailor can sail
to the edge of the deep
Oh, But how many sailors hearts
ever make landfall again?
Any old man can stand beside me
when I'm strong
And any young fella can promise me
things in a love song
But they're only as good
as they are to me now
In this time when the world
seems bitter and dark
And I feel like there's no one
to catch me if I fall
How good will you be
when I need you
to be good to me?
