Lyrics:
You were talking and I thought I heard you say
“Please leave me alone
Nothing in this world can make me stay
I’d rather go back, I’d rather go back home”
But if you believed in me like I believe in you
We could have a love so true, we would go on endlessly
And I know anyday, anyday, I will see you smile
Any way, any way, only for a little while
Well someday baby, I know you’re gonna need me
When this old world has got you down
I’ll be right here, so woman call me
And I’ll never ever let you down

And I know anyday, anyday, I will see you smile
Any way, any way, only for a little while
To break the glass and twist the knife into yourself
You’ve got to be a fool to understand
To bring your woman back home after she’s left you for another
You’ve got to be a, you’ve got to be a man
Anyday, anyday, I will see you, I will see you smile
Any way, any way, only for a little while
Anyday, anyday, I will see you smile
Any way, any way, just for a little, just for a little while
