[Verse 1]
"I need somebody tonight"
You told me, talkin' on the ride home
"I need the love of my life
Not just somebody to climb on"

[Pre-Chorus]
And you say, "I realize
Maybe I minimize instead of feelin' it out"
You say you're losin' your mind
But I'll hold the line while you figure it out

[Chorus]
As if you needed a reason
As if you needed a light on
As if you needed the freedom
Of someone you could rely on
If you just needed a break
From the pain and the color of your walls
As if you needed a reason to call me
A reason to call me at all
A reason to call me at all

[Post-Chorus]
Ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh
[Verse 2]
They'll tell you, "Think small, hit the wall, don't you leave the doll house
Blow it up just because you can take the fallout
It never happens at the right time"
Yeah, that's what they say

[Pre-Chorus]
It's hard enough to be human
And worse when you're on your own

[Chorus]
As if you needed a reason
As if you needed a light on
As if you needed the freedom
Of someone you could rely on
If you just needed a break
From the pain and the color of your walls
As if you needed a reason to call me
A reason to call me at all
A reason to call me at all

[Post-Chorus]
Ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh
[Outro]
They'll tell you, "Think small, hit the wall, don't you leave the doll house"
"Blow it up just because you can take the fallout
It never happens at the right time"
Yeah, that's what they say
