When You Need Me Lyrics

Edit Lyrics When you need me call my name'Cause without you my life just wouldn't be the sameIf you want me come sunny skies or rainWhen you need me just call my nameIf you miss me, I'll be thereTo brush the sunlight from your hairI'll be there to guide you when trouble walks beside youIf you need me I'll be thereAnd when this dirty world has been cold to youI got two strong arms waitin' to hold youAnd when those mean days come alongWe'll stand together and we'll take 'em onSo if you need me just call my nameWhen you need me call my name'Cause without you my life just isn't the same'Cause when this world kicked me aroundYou picked me up off the groundSo if you need me I'll be there New!

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

There should be a comment on this song. In fact, there should be plenty. But there aren't. Probably due to the fact that this is another of Bruce Springsteen's gems that were only released on Tracks. There is no other possible reason. Because this is simply the most perfect and eloquent love song ever written. This is the ultimate call to stand by one another, no matter what happens. It is so beautiful that it can bring tears to your eyes.

Totally Agree. This is one of my all time favorite songs, and was mine and my husband's first dance at our wedding. No one had ever heard the song before, but so many people have commented on how beautiful it was.

It is indeed a beautiful song, for me it's up there with 'Back In Your Arms' and 'I Wish I Were Blind'. Bruce at his tender best.
