Ooh
I see you pass me by
I don't know where
I don't know why
You choose to go the way that you're goin' now
You been a friend of mine
For many years
For a long time, but
You just aren't you today
So what's on your mind?
You just won't speak about it
Think about it
Be about it
Gotta make yourself aware that you've gone astray
You're trying so hard to fit in
[Chorus]
What you need is something genuine
What you want is something real
What you need is something truthful
I know you do, I know you do, I know you do
'Cause I need it too
What you need, what you need
What you want, what you want
What you need, what you need
Is something genuine
You cry yourself asleep
Sleep at night, but one the night is gone
And you prepare to face a brand new day
You hide yourself behind that mastermind
You're in disguise
It's as if you try to put a mask on your pain
You don't know who you are
What you're about
Where are you now
You're becoming someone that you don't want to be
You're trying so hard to fit in
[Repeat Chorus]
He loves you for who you are now, and who you will be
Don't fear, living in truth there's reality
I don't have all the answers
But I know One who does
And I know there's freedom and truth
I go to him because
Yeah
Ooh
(I know you do)
What you need is something truthful
What you need, what you need
What you want, what you want
What you need, what you need
[Chorus 2]
What He has is something genuine
Who He is is someone real
What He gives is something truthful
It's what He has, It's who He is, It's what He gives
And I need Him too
What you need, what you need
I need Him too
What you want, what you want
What you want
What you need, what you need
Is something genuine
[Repeat Chorus 2]
