You Only Want Me When You Need Me Lyrics by Lula Wiles

It’s Cool - Single

2019

[Chorus]
You only want me when you need me
When you're passing through my town
When you're feeling sick and lonesome
When your cigarette's burned out
You only want me when you need me
Baby, we both know it's true
And even though you know I care
You're never there on those nights when I need you
[Verse 1]
You were on your fifth Corona
The girls were lining up for you to spin 'em slow
The band was drinking and singing about drinking
All dressed up like an '80s rodeo
You haven't given me a second glance
Shooting pool with your next dance
You're the man of the hour for now
I'll see myself out
[Chorus]
You only want me when you need me
When you're passing through my town
When you're feeling sick and lonesome
When your cigarette's burned out
You only want me when you need me
Baby, we both know it's true
And even though you know I care
You're never there on those nights when I need you
[Verse 2]
Now I'm walking after midnight
And all you've picked up is the tab, it would seem
'Cause when I get home to leftover takeout
It isn't long before you're lighting up my screen
I guess I shouldn't be surprised
You come just as advertised
And after all this touch-and-go
You wanna have one more for the road
[Chorus 2]
You only want me when you need me
When you're passing through my town
When you're feeling sick and lonesome
When your cigarette's burned out
You only want me when you need me
Baby, we both know it's true
And even though you know I care
You weren't there on those nights I wanted you
And even though you think it's cool
You were a tool
And I never needed you
