Lyrics: I Need You

I don't need protection from a Hollywood religion,
From a god that doesn't reach me,
Or a shaman who can teach me.
I don't need illusions in a world of mass confusion,
Or a beauty that is skin deep-
In a moment that is fleeting.
I don't find the answers in a laundry list of lovers-
You can try so hard, but then what you want
Is never really what you need.

But I need you to make it all worthwhile-
I need you to turn these lips into a smile.
I need you to make the bitter taste so sweet-
I need you to fill the spaces in between.
Ohh.

I don't need permission or a state of absolution-
Or a savior who forgives me,
Or a faith to convince me.
I don't need instructions or a power of seduction-
I have tasted all the glory,
But it did nothing for me.
I don't need a whirlwind of designed mass production-
No more winning races or pretty faces in the room.

'Cause I need you to make it all worthwhile-
Yeah I need you to turn my lips into a smile.
I need you to make the bitter taste so sweet-
I need you, darlin' to leave my sadness at the door.
Ohh.

I need you.

I need you to make it all worthwhile-
Yeah I need you to turn my lips into a smile.
I need you to make the bitter taste so sweet-
I need you darlin' (need you) to fill the spaces in between.

Only you can take this trap into your street, yeah.
(Only you.)
Only you, and not some new philosophy.
Only you can resurrect this heart of mine.

Yeah I need you darlin'-
(I need you.)
And I don't wanna be without you anymore.
'Cause I need you,
Yeah I need you.
I need you
