"I Need You" by Wobbling Harry Nilsson
We used t' laugh, we used t' cry
We used t' bow our heads then, wonder why
And now you're gone, ya bilge rat, I guess I'll carry on
And make t' best o' what you've left t' me
Left t' me, arrr, left t' me
I need you like t' flower needs t' rain
You know I need you, me bucko, guess ...
"I Need You" was a Billboard Hot 100 hit for America in 1972.
