I wrote a song to you I poured my soul in it Now I'm feeling flat I want my soul back Lately I just need a pal Thanks for being my safety valve I know that there's something out there I can feel it I walk in the night I look in the windows There's dinners and parties And late conversations Laughing out loud The tears of a crowd Lady I just need a pal Wish you'd be my safety valve Hey, I've been here before I'll save you it's a serious bore Hey I've been I still wrote this song for you I dedicate this song to you I know you've been there all along I want to stick close to you Sometimes I just need a pal Thanks for being my safety valve Hell on my own is a night without prospects You need something good to get through the day I'm not in a good place, I know I'll get better But just for tonight Take me away Come and be my sacred pal Come and be my safety valve Hey, I've been there before I'll spare you it's a serious bore Hey, I've been there before I'll save you it's a serious bore Hey, I've been there before
