Brother, I'm the keeper of the gate of fools
And lately I've been seein' way to much of you
Every time I look you're comin' round again
I think I oughta warn you 'fore I let you back in

If you don't show her you need her, somebody will
If you don't hold her closer, somebody will
If you don't tell her everyday, just the way that you feel
You better believe me, somebody will

Do me a favor, take some free advise
From another fool who's still payin' the price
I used to live my life a lot like you
Never gave a thought to what I had to lose

If you don't show her you need her, somebody will
If you don't hold her closer, somebody will
If you don't tell her everyday, just the way that you feel
You better believe me, somebody will

Love is like a garden in a hard piece of ground
The wind is gonna blow and the sun will beat down
You better be sure before you plant that first seed
To give that garden all the attention she needs

If you don't show her you need her, somebody will
If you don't hold her closer, somebody will
If you don't tell her everyday, just the way that you feel
You better believe me, somebody will

If you don't tell her everyday just the way that you feel
You better believe me, somebody will
