Text: Phil Vassar. American Child. Someone You Love.

My moment of need was my finest hour
But all I needed was someone
To make me turn myself around
I could see by the way we never talk
And how we're always separated by the room
Till all the walls come tumblin' down

It seems to me that we should touch
Let me know if that's askin' for too much

If I was someone you love, you'd be shaken by now
If I was someone you need, we'd be better now
If I was someone you cared for you'd be holdin' me
They say you'll do the damnedest things you
Could ever think of for someone you love

It ain't easy but it's worth it in the end
Let's try again, my friend
The sum of all the love is greater than
All these pieces that are lyin' on the floor
And all the words we're sayin' now
Can't change the ones we've said before

So we smile and let it go
You tell me you love me but I know

If I was someone you love, you'd be shaken by now
If I was someone you need, we'd be better now
If I was someone you cared for you'd be holdin' me
They say you'll do the damnedest things you
Could ever think of, oh, for someone you love

If I was someone you love, you'd be shaken by now
If I was someone you need, we'd be better now
If I was someone you cared for, you'd be holding me
If I was someone that mattered, you'd disagree

They say you'll do the damnedest things you
Could ever think
They say you'll do the damnedest things you
Could ever think of for someone you love
Someone you love

Yeah, you're someone I love
Girl, I'd do anything
I'd do anything
I'd do anything
