Lyrics
The whole town talking 'bout
The entire town is gossiping about you.
You and your new guy you're flying and high
You and your new partner are joyfully and euphorically experiencing life.
In your single world
You are embracing a carefree and unattached lifestyle.
But you're gonna need me
Despite your current happiness, there will come a time when you'll require my presence.
But you're gonna need me
The repetition emphasizes the inevitability of needing support.
You're gonna need me down here
Anticipating that you will require assistance and understanding in the future.
And it won't be long
This need will arise soon.
When you leave and say goodbye
When you depart and bid farewell.
Don't come back with tears in your eyes
If you return, do not come back with regret and sorrow.
You had a good lover once
Reflecting on a past time when you had a satisfying lover.
But you didn't know
You were not aware of the value of that love.
But you're gonna need me
Reiterating the prediction that you will inevitably need support.
But you're gonna need me
Emphasizing the certainty of this future need.
You're gonna need me down here
Reiterating the expectation that assistance will be required.
And it won't be long
Again emphasizing that this need will arise soon.
The whole town talking 'bout
Repetition of the town's gossip about your current romantic happiness.
You and your new guy you're flying and high
Highlighting the blissful state of your new relationship.
In your single world
Reinforcing the idea of living without commitments.
But you're gonna need me
Once again stating the inevitability of needing support.
But you're gonna need me
Reiterating the certainty that assistance will be required.
You're gonna need me down here
Emphasizing the expectation of needing help.
And it won't be long
Repeating the notion that this need will arise soon.
When you leave and say goodbye
When you depart, ensure it is a definitive goodbye.
Don't come back with tears in your eyes
If you return, avoid showing remorse through tears.
You had a good lover once
Recalling a time when you had a fulfilling lover.
But you didn't know
You were unaware of the value of that love.
But you're gonna need me
Reaffirming the prediction that you will inevitably need support.
But you're gonna need me
Stressing the certainty of this future need.
You're gonna need me down here
Reiterating the expectation that assistance will be required.
And it won't be long
Once again emphasizing that this need will arise soon.
