Lyrics

Mary wants to be a superwoman

But is that really in her head?

But I just want to live each day to love her for what she is

Mary wants to be another movie star

But is that really in her mind?

And all the things she wants to be she needs to leave behind

Very well

I believe I know you very well

Wish that you knew me too very well

And I think I can deal with everything going through your head

Very well

And I think I can face very well

Wish that you knew me too very well

And I think I can cope with everything going through your head

Mary wants to be a superwoman

And try to boss the bull around

But does she really think she'll get by with a dream

My woman wants to be a superwoman

And I just had to say good-bye

Because I can't spend all my hours start to cry

But, very well

I believe I know you very well

Wish that you knew me too very well

And I think I can deal with everything going through your head

Very well

Think that I know you too very well

Wish you knew me like I know you very well

But I think I can deal with everything going through your head

Your filthy head

Very well, dum-dum-dum, dum-dum-dum

Very well

Wish you knew me too very well

And I wish I could think of everything going through your head

Very well, dum-dum-dum, dum-dum-dum, dum-dum

Dum-dum-dum, dum-dum-dum, very well

And I think I can deal with everything going through your head

When the summer came you were not around

Now the summer's gone and love cannot be found

Where were you when I needed you last winter, my love?

When the winter came you went further south

Parting from love's nest, leaving me in doubt

Where are you when I need you, like right now?

Our love is at an end

But you say now you have changed

But tomorrow will reflect love's past

When the winter came you were not around

Through the bitter winds, love could not be found

Where were you when I needed you, last winter, my love?

Oh, I need you baby, I need you baby

Our love is at an end

But you say now you have changed

But tomorrow will reflect love's past, oh

Spring will fill the air and you will come around

Well, is it summer love that will let me down?

Where were you when I needed you, last winter, my love?

La-la-la-la, la-la-la-la-la

La-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la-la

Where are you when I need you, like right now?

Right now, right now, right now

La-la-la-la, la-la-la-la-la

La-la-la-la, oh yeah

Where were you when I needed you last winter, my dear

Oh, I need you baby, I need you baby, I need you baby

I need you baby, I need you baby, I need you baby, I need you baby

Oh, Where were you when I needed you last winter, last winter?

Yeah, need you baby, need you, need you baby

Oh, you want me to need you baby

Oh where were you when I needed you last, dear

Yeah
