Lyrics
TIDE ME OVER
Words & Music: Janet Cohen & Powers McElhone
I know you can?t give the kind of love I need
We decided long ago it can?t work for you and me
But now that she?s left me, I need a friend
So I?m turning to you again, won?t you
TIDE ME OVER the tough times
TIDE ME OVER ?til I?m back in stride
TIDE ME OVER ?it won?t be for long
I?m gonna be fine?I just need some time.
You know I won?t ask for something you don?t feel
All I want is company ?til the hurt begins to heal
Just being near you, I settle down
Knowing that you?re around
TIDE ME OVER the tough times
TIDE ME OVER ?til I?m back in stride
TIDE ME OVER ?it won?t be for long
I?m gonna be fine?I just need some time
TIDE ME OVER the tough times
TIDE ME OVER ?til I?m back in stride
TIDE ME OVER ?it won?t be for long
I?m gonna be fine?I just need some time
