But after all I guess I just don't care
Like it's only
But still you kept me in the back of your head
Like a crumpled dollar hidden in your hat
And you're sitting, waiting by the phone
Something to fall back on
You can fall back on me
Then I guess it's something to fall back on
I was only something to fall back on
Though you'd rather try for something else instead
Something to fall back on for me
You'd be left with nothing if it weren't for that
'Cause when I just imagine how it will be
Something to fall back on
You can call on me
Remember when you were the talk of the town
Everybody needs somebody to fall back on
And to wake up lonely is your deepest dread
When you need to find me, I'm right behind you
To tell you what is most important in life
I'm waiting on you, babe
I need to know, you'll need me sometime
Just like the teddy bear that you took to bed
And if you need me I will always be there
I don't know what makes me think I've the right
Something to fall back on
Until you get around to giving it more
Something to fall back on
When your world is falling down
And you didn't care if I was around
I know I'm only
Fall back on me
Nobody's going nowhere
For the subway home when there's no welcome mat
You can call me anytime
And there's no one else around
You can't expect that a flower will grow
So you stay connected by a tiny thread
When you need to find it it's right behind you
