Whenever you need me you’re weak,
And you can’t see the wood from the trees,
Whenever you see me it’s wrong,
But you don’t see how it can be,
Whenever you think you has learnt it all,
I’ll have another answer for you,
Whenever you think you’ve scored more goals,
I’ll be next door shooting hoops.
Whenever you need me just call,
I’ll be there until the daylight comes,
Whenever you want me I’ll be there,
There until the morning sun.
Whenever you take from others thoughts,
I’ll be thinking thoughts of my own,
Whenever you treat me like some whore,
I’ll be treated like a queen bethroned,
Whatever you dig up from the ground,
It’s too rare to just be luck,
Whenever you think I’ve run aground,
It’s your boat that is stuck.

Whenever you need me just call,
I’ll be there until the daylight comes,
Whenever you want me I’ll be there,
There until the morning sun.

Whenever you tell me that I’m wrong,
The mirror tells a different truth,
Whenever you think I’ve been headstrong,
Or suggest I’ve been uncouth,
Whatever the reason you’ve been led,
Don’t think you have a word to say,
Whatever you’ve eaten you’ve been fed,
I always get my way.

Whenever you need me just call,
I’ll be there until the daylight comes,
Whenever you want me I’ll be there,
There until the morning sun.
