Something To Fall Back On

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
 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
 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
