[Verse 1]
Whoa
You gon' leave me (You're gonna leave me)
Hey, baby, before it's over (Before it's over)
Before it's over (Before it's over)
Yes, you're gonna leave me (You're gonna leave me)
Now, when the chips are down
And you began to frown
You're gonna need me (You're gonna need me)

[Verse 2]
Mm, before it's over (You're gonna leave me)
Hey, baby, before it's over (Before it's over)
Before it's over (Before it's over)
Yes, you're gonna leave me (You're gonna leave me)
Now, when you're looking back
And you're feelin' sad
You're gonna need me (You're gonna need me)

[Chorus]
Although you're flying high
And you have said goodbye
You're goin' to stumble
And when your dreams of buildin'
Castles in the sky
That's gonna crumble
You're gonna need a friend
To hold your tremblin' hand
When you're falling
And when you call my name
I'll be too far away
To hear you calling
[Verse 3]
Don't you know you're gonna need me? (You're gonna leave me)
Oh, baby, before it's over (Before it's over)
Woah, before it's over, honey (Before it's over)
I know you're gonna cry (You're gonna leave me)
Now when your love has gone
And you're all alone
You're gonna need me (You're gonna need me)

[Chorus]
Oh, you're flying high
And you've said goodbye
You're gonna stumble
And when your dreams of buildin'
Castles in the sky
That's gonna crumble
You're gonna need a friend
To hold your tremblin' hand
When you're falling
And when you call my name
I'll be too far away
To hear you calling

[Verse 4]
Don't you know, before it's over (You're gonna need me)
Baby, you're gonna need me (Before it's over)
Woah, before it's over (Before it's over)
You're gonna cry (You're gonna need me)
Now, when you're all alone
And your friends have gone
You're gonna need me (You're gonna need me)
[Outro]
You're gonna need me, baby (You're gonna need me)
Yeah, before it's all ...
