lyrics

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

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

Now I’m walking after midnight
And all you’ve picked up is the tab, it would seem
Cuz 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 for the road

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
