Fall Back On Me

You're goin' searchin' for somethin' that
I hope someday you'll find
I'm not sayin' I want you to leave but
I won't try and change your mind
That would be only thinkin' of me
What a selfish thing to do
Should you ever come up downhearted
Remember what I'm tellin' you

It's a cold cold world out there
You won't find roses bloomin' everywhere
I realize that somethin' inside tellin' you
You've got to be free
You learn that life and reality won't be
Ev'rything you want it to be
So try your wings and if you fall
You can fall back on me

Don't give your heart to the drifter
He's only a one nightstand
Turn away from the madam in red
She'll use you if she can
I can give you these words of advice but
I can't tell you what to do
Should you ever come up downhearted remember
That I still love you

It's a cold cold world out there
You won't find roses bloomin' everywhere
I realize that somethin' inside tellin' you
You've got to be free
You learn that life and reality won't be
Ev'rything you want it to be
So try your wings and if you fall
You can fall back on me
So try your wings and if you fall
You can fall back on me
