Who Do I Call When I Need You lyrics

Last Christmas morning

I opened my presents all alone

And last Thanksgiving

Where could I go but my married sister's home?

Well, this morning

I decided that you've had me way too long

I need a man who's free to be here

When everything's going wrong

Chorus:

'Cause you see the plumber comes when the faucet drips

I call in the painter when the woodwork chips

The Yellow Pages always seem to help me through

But who do I call when I need you?

Every evening your children run

To kiss you at your door

You throw your arms around them

After leaving me alone and wanting more

In your life, I'm just the icing

On a many-layered cake

While I go hungry giving you much more than I can take

Repeat Chorus

The plumber comes when the faucet drips

I call in the painter when the woodwork chips

The Yellow Pages always seem to help me through

But who do I call when I need you?
