Yeah, when it rains
My, it really pours
When you're fallin' on the floor
And your face is a mess
But I've only ever seen you at your best before
And when the sun
Refuse to shine
Child, and that cold kitchen light makes you cry
That's when you really need a friend
I'll be there around the bend - yes, - if you're looking
Oh, Sally Mae, Sally Mae
May you always find your way
Yeah, when the going gets tough,
Just ain't enough to simply say "I'm O.K."
Well, don't you lie to my face
Sally Mae, Sally Mae
Babe, it's whenever you're away
That I think to myself
"I wish I made you stay"
But there was nothing, really nothing left to say
Yeah, when it snows
My, it really snows
Yeah, and the wind blows through your clothes
Well, if you ever need some shelter
Mine's the red door on the corner
Tell me, haven't you been there before
Yeah, and in the darkest
Of dark hours
Hard times when the heart goes sour
Well, if I could be of some assistance
Like a mistress who puts sugar in your tea
Yeah, momma, let that be me
Woah-woah, Sally Mae, Sally Mae
May you always find your way
Yeah, when the going gets tough,
Just ain't enough to simply say "I'm O.K."
Well, don't you lie to my face
Oh, Sally Mae, Sally Mae
Babe, it's whenever you're away
That I think to myself
"I wish I made you stay"
But there was nothing "scoo-be-do-be-dow"
Nothing "scoo-be-do-be" left to say
