[Intro]

I bet you never knew (Bet you, bet you)

That you'd be my safety, yeah

I bet you never knew (Knew)

On my lonely nights

It all comes back to you (Ah, yeah, baby)

[Verse 1]

I bet (I bet), you know (You know)

When it's alright for me to come home again

I love a friend like you, you

Sometimes, I wonder why (Sometimes I wonder why)

I'd like to live and try (I like to live and try)

For someone who holds back the rain, oh

I bet (I bet) it's real (It's real), imposin', my baby

I try from time to time, oh, to hold back

These lonely nights

And I know, we'd be somethin' if we tried

[Chorus]

I bet you never knew (Bet you, bet you)

That you'd be my safety, yeah

I bet you never knew (Never knew, yeah)

On my lonely nights

It all falls back to you, oh

[Verse 2]

You saved my soul

Reminded me of why love's so blue

Two trees of green, to all of me

I've been down for so long

My love, my love

I'm holdin' out, oh, baby

You saved my soul (My soul)

Reminded me of why love's so blue

Two trees of green, oh, to all of me

I've been down for so long

My love, my love

I'm holdin' out, oh, baby
