Something To Fall Back On Lyrics - Hello It's Me - Todd Rundgren

If I gave you just a bit more time 

Do you think that you would make up your mind? 

You can't expect that a flower will grow 

Until you get around to giving it more 

Like it's only 

Something to fall back on 

Something to fall back on 

Something to fall back on 

Like a crumpled dollar hidden in your hat 

For the subway home when there's no welcome mat 

You'd be left with nothing if it weren't for that 

When you need to find it it's right behind you

5 Totally Underrated Christmas Songs 

Remember when you were the talk of the town 

And you didn't care if I was around 

But still you kept me in the back of your head 

Just like the teddy bear that you took to bed 

I was only something to fall back on 

And to wake up lonely is your deepest dread 

So you stay connected by a tiny thread 

Though you'd rather try for something else instead 

When you need to find me I'm right behind you 

I know I'm only 

Something to fall back on 

I don't know what makes me think I've the right 

To tell you what is most important in life 

But after all I guess I just don't care 

And if you need me I will always be there 

'cause when I just imagine how it will be 

Then I guess it's something to fall back on 

Something to fall back on for me 

Photos 

I need to know you'll need me sometime 

Everybody needs somebody to fall back on 

Fall back on me 

Nobody's going nowhere 

You can call me anytime 

You can fall back on me 

You can call on me 

I'm waiting on you babe 

When your world is falling down 

And there's no one else around 

And you're sitting, waiting by the phone 

You can call me and I won't leave you alone
