[Verse 1]
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
Till hope is gone
'Cause girl I know
Anywhere you go
You'll still be needing me

[Verse 2]
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

[Chorus]
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
[Verse 3]
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
Till 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

[Chorus]
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
La-la-la-la-la
