i don't need you
it's just that i need
something i can care about
to pick me up and wash me down
and wear me out if i want you
it's just that i need something
i can't do without
to lift me up and let me down
and lay me out to gather me
and give some affection
romeo and juliet marilyn monroe
anthony cleopatra jo di maggio
you can say what you like
but i don't think it's so you
go straight through my heart
little one i don't want you
it's just that i need something
i can't live without
so tear me up and break me down
and bare me out if i want you
i recognise a need in me
i can't disguise a brittle thing
that kicks me like a broken knife
that gathers me and gives me a reflection
you can say what you like
but i don't think its so you go straight
to my heart little one
romeo me come see me
i know what you are
prossession is ninety nine tenths of it all
i just need something i can really care about
