The whole town's talking
About you and your new girl
You're flying high now, Jack
And you're seeing the world

But you're gonna need me
You're gonna need me, daddy
And it won't be long
No, no, no, no
No, it won't be long

You're telling everybody
Walking papers coming through
But I don't know anything about that
Seems like only you

But you're gonna need me
You're gonna need me, daddy
And it won't be long

When she leaves you
And says goodbye
Don't come back to me
With tears in your eyes

You had a good thing once
And you done me wrong
But I warned you, yes, I did
That it won't be long, no, no

So you've got your girl
Walking papers too
It's all cleared up
Our marriage is through

But you're gonna need me
You're gonna need me, daddy
And it won't be long
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

You're gonna need me, daddy
And it won't be long
I knew you'd be right on back

You're gonna need me, daddy
And it won't be long
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

You're gonna need me, daddy
And it won't be long
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
You're gonna need me, daddy
