I was on the ropes when you needed my hands I was on the dope when you needed me down I was on the hip when you needed my heart I was on the hopes that you needed me now And I was on the roof and you were the stars I was on your lips, you were in my heart I was on the first boat out of this town You were on the front porch waving me out
I was on the ropes when you needed me And I was on the dope when you needed to know I was on the cuff when you needed my sleeve I was on the roots when you needed to grow More than ever I can see into the back of my mind And I find me alone, me alone,me alone baby Be alone, be alone, be alone baby
I was on the ropes When you needed my hands I was on the dope When you needed me down I was on the hip When you needed my heart I was on the hopes that you needed me now More than ever I can see into the back of mind Baby I find me alone, me alone, me alone And I was on the moon in the back of my van We were in the bedroom talking on old tin cans
And we’ll be alone, be alone baby Be alone, be alone, be alone, be alone
