When the time comes and I need someone to hold me
When the time comes and I need someone to care
If I'm ever down and out and need somebody
If I ever call on you, will you be there?

Self-reliant is a word I use for me
Independent is a thing I've got to be
Self-sustaining doesn't mean that I don't care
If I ever call on you, will you be there?

If my dreams and schemеs should ever, evеr fail me
And my life is empty when I've lost it all
If I'm ever down and out and need somebody
Oh yea, if I ever call on you, will you be there?

If I ever call on you, will you be there?
