Don't Need Love

(album: Johnny Diesel & The Injectors - 1989)

Give me a reason
Why I'm feeling this way
Trying all the time
To keep the blues at bay

When I sleep at night, you're all I see
You're in my head, like cable TV
It's no use, when it's self abuse

But I don't need love to get me through
No, I don't need love, all shiny and new
I don't need love, tell myself that it's true
I may not need love, but I sure need you

Oh, yeah

My friends they're all asking
Am I still that way?
I tell them that I'm living
Day by day

Ooh, they wouldn't be asking
They just wouldn't say
But I gave up on hiding it yesterday
They're looking straight through
And I know what they see

But I don't need love to get me through
No, I don't need love, all shiny and new
I don't need love, tell myself that it's true
I may not need love, but I sure need you

I don't need love to get me through
No, I don't need love, all shiny and new
I don't need love, tell myself that it's true
I may not need love, but I sure need you

Living on daydreams
It's not like the real thing
But it's all that I got, and a liar, I'm not
But I'm lying when I'm telling the truth
Yeah

I don't need love to get me through
No, I don't need love, all shiny and new
I don't need love, tell myself that it's true
I may not need love, but I sure need you

I don't need love
I don't need love
Oh, I don't need love
Tell myself that it's true
I may not need love, but I sure need you
Yeah
