I just had to hear your voice
You've always been my rock
The one that puts me back together
On my away around the block

Yeah my late night phone calls
An ear you can bend
The sister you never had
Your lover and your closest friend

And it breaks my heart you'll never be
What you need from me

Ooh I tried (I tried) and failed
I've prayed (I've prayed) like hell
To change (to change) but I can't change (I can't change)
I let you down 'cos I'm still the same
And I can't be (no I can't be) what you need from me

You need a trophy on your arm
So you don't look so lonely
Someone to get you through the nights
Someone to start your morning coffee

You need a man that you can count on
Someone who'll finish what he started
Not a restless soul who comes
And goes and leaves you open-hearted

And it breaks my heart you'll never be
What you need from me

Ooh I tried (I tried) and failed
I've prayed (I've prayed) like hell
To change (to change) but I can't change (I can't change)
I let you down 'cos I'm still the same
And I can't be (no I can't be) what you need from me

I've tried, I've failed
I've prayed like hell
But I can't be (no I can't be) what you need from me
What you need from me
What you need from mee
