I Need You

(Album: The Nashville Sessions - 2015)

I poured your Johnnie Walker Blue right down the drain
That's what you get for calling me your ex's name
It's like we're always on the edge of throwing plates
You're driving me insane
My mama likes to tell her friends that you're no good
Well she might just be right and I would leave you if I could
But there's something in your eyes that's making me stay put
You really got me hooked

And I need you
Like I need this glass of wine
Just enough and I'm alright
But too much and I'll lose my mind
And I need you
Like I need these cigarettes
They might hurt me in the end
Just one taste and I'll forget
You're the one thing I can't help but come back to
And I need you

You like to say you're saving all your love for me
But I saw you flirting with the redhead down the street
We both know that she can't give you what you need
Baby I'm your nicotine

And I need you
Like I need this glass of wine
Just enough and I'm alright
But too much and I'll lose my mind
And I need you
Like I need these cigarettes
They might hurt me in the end
Just one taste and I'll forget
You're the one thing I can't help but come back to

And I need you
And I don't know what to do
All my screws are coming loose
Lord what I get myself into
And I need you
Like a junkie needs a fix
You're the habit I can't kick
I'd sell my soul for one more hit

I told myself that I'd be smart and walk away
But I didn't get twelve steps before I went and got the shakes
There's nothing I can do to get you off my brain
So I guess you're here to stay

And I need you
Like I need this glass of wine
Just enough and I'm alright
But too much and I'll lose my mind
And I need you
Like I need these cigarettes
They might hurt me in the end
Just one taste and I'll forget
You're the one thing I can't help but come back to
And I need you
