[Intro]
I bet you never knew (Bet you, bet you)
That you'd be my safety, yeah
I bet you never knew (Knew)
On my lonely nights
It all comes back to you (Ah, yeah, baby)

[Verse 1]
I bet (I bet), you know (You know)
When it's alright for me to come home again
I love a friend like you, you
Sometimes, I wonder why (Sometimes I wonder why)
I'd like to live and try (I like to live and try)
For someone who holds back the rain, oh
I bet (I bet) it's real (It's real), imposin', my baby
I try from time to time, oh, to hold back
These lonely nights
And I know, we'd be somethin' if we tried

[Chorus]
I bet you never knew (Bet you, bet you)
That you'd be my safety, yeah
I bet you never knew (Never knew, yeah)
On my lonely nights
It all falls back to you, oh
[Verse 2]
You saved my soul
Reminded me of why love's so blue
Two trees of green, to all of me
I've been down for so long
My love, my love
I'm holdin' out, oh, baby
You saved my soul (My soul)
Reminded me of why love's so blue
Two trees of green, oh, to all of me
I've been down for so long
My love, my love
I'm holdin' out, oh, baby
