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

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
