(group vocals are gray)
mmmmmmmm...
cuz i won't be, cuz i won't be, cuz i won't be, i won't be there
i can't wait till fortune comes your way (i won't be there, i won't be there)
mmmmmmmm...
i won't be there....
it's your turn to cry
cuz i won't be, cuz i won't be, cuz i won't be, i won't be there
when you're out in the cold and she leaves you alone, you're going to need somebody (i won't be there)
cuz i won't be, cuz i won't be, cuz i won't be, i won't be there (i won't be there)
So you've found yourself a perfect girl
it's the same old tune, i know this story well
guess i'm meant to get over you
your heart belongs to someone new
but baby don't worry
i'll be just fine
all i need is time
when you're out in the cold and she leaves you alone, you're going to need somebody (i won't be there)
when she's broken your heart and you're falling apart, you're going to need somebody (i won't be there)
when you're down on your luck and you wanna give up, you're going to need somebody (i won't be there)
when you're out and she's gone and you're love's hanging on, you're going to need somebody
i won't be there
cuz i won't be, cuz i won't be, cuz i won't be, i won't be there
and she tells you the things you said to me
i can promise it's not you with me
and can't be we just friends baby
well it doesn't it sound like
then you will finally see
when you're out in the cold and she leaves you alone, you're going to need somebody (i won't be there)
when she's broken your heart and you're falling apart, you're going to need somebody (i won't be there)
when you're down on your luck and you wanna give up, you're going to need somebody (i won't be there)
when you're out and she's gone and you're love's hanging on, you're going to need somebody
i won't be there
i won't be there....
i won't be there....
when you said your goodbye
and your problem now, not mine
yeah
cuz i won't be, cuz i won't be, cuz i won't be, i won't be there
when she's broken your heart and you're falling apart, you're going to need somebody (i won't be there)
when she says her goodbyes and it's your turn to cry, you're going to need somebody (i won't be there)
when you need one more chance, baby this was your last, you said you need somebody
and i won't be there
cuz i won't be, cuz i won't be, cuz i won't be, i won't be there (no no no no no)
cuz i won't be, cuz i won't be, cuz i won't be, i won't be there (i won't be there)
cuz i won't be, cuz i won't be, cuz i won't be, i won't be there (no no no no no)
i won't be there
