"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.
