Lord, she needs someone to hold her when she cries.



She packed her few belongings left a note and now she's gone

And I can't stand to think of her out there so all alone

As soon as she's gone far enough to know she's out of sight

She'll pull off the highway and she'll cry.



And she needs someone to hold her when she cries

Someone who really understands the way she feels inside

When her heart breaks the tears won't stop, no matter how she tries

And she needs someone to hold her when she cries.



I don't blame her for leavin' Lord, she didn't want to go

But she thinks I don't love her or need her anymore

I've driven her into a world as dark and cold as ice

With no one there to hold her when she cries.



And she needs someone to hold her when she cries

Someone who really understands the way she feels inside

And if she ever loves again I hope that she will find

Someone who'll always hold her when she cries.
