Lyrics

When the world is read y to fall

on your lit tle shoul ders, re mem ber, and when you’re feel in’ lone ly and small,

and you need the some bod y there to hold you.

So You can call out my name

when you’re on ly lone ly.

Now, don’t you ev er be a (D)shamed.

You’re on ly lone ly.

When you need some bod y a round

on the nights that try you,

re mem ber, and I was there when you were a queen,

and I’ll be the last one y there be side you.

So you can call out my name

when you’re on ly lone ly.

Now, don’t you ev er be a (D)shamed.

You’re on ly lone ly.

So don’t you ev er be a (D)shamed

when you’re on ly lone ly.
