I needed more than what I had.
I needed more than what I got.

Bodily functions, I don't wanna need them
And bodily functions, I don't wanna need them
And bodily functions, I don't wanna need them
And bodily functions, I don't wanna, I don't wanna

But I needed to try, oh…"

He said, "I love getting stoned."
He said, "I love getting high, so high."
Said, "I love coming down,
But I needed to try."

He said, "I love getting stoned."
He said, "I love getting high, so high."
Said, "I love coming down,
But I needed to try, I needed to try,
I needed to try, I needed to try,
