If I had my way, I would say it's over, darling
If I could be brave, I would say I'm leaving you
But I must stay on 'til hope is gone
'Cause girl I know
Anywhere you go you'll still be needing me
If you find you can't make it on your own, my darling
I'll be on your side when you can't find anyone
But for now let's try, just to get by
Let the tide roll out
Let the tide roll in, it's time to sink or swim
La la la la la, la la la la la la la la
La la la la la, la la la la la la la la
If I could be strong, I'd be gone tomorrow morning
Still, I play the part, making like a broken toy
But I must stay on 'til hope is gone
'Cause girl, I know
Anywhere you go, you'll still be needing me
Let the tide roll out
Let the tide roll in, it's time to sink or swim
La la la la la, la la la la la la la la
La la la la la, la la la la la la la la
La la la la la, la la la la la la la la
