I Need You To Want Me

(album: Flatlands - 1995)

I don't need a fortune teller
I don't need me no M.D.
I don't need some slick suit that's passed the bar.
I don't need a politician
Or some preacher on T.V.
Folks to tell me how I've done so far.

I just need you
I need you to want me
I want you to love me
The way I love you
Oh, for a friend
A friend you can count on
Be there for me and I'm yours till the end.

Sagan's slinging big bang
Nader's working on control
Einstein's Mr. Relativity
I don't need no revelation
Mystics cloud up things for me
And I don't need another mystery.

I just need you
I need you to want me
I want you to love me
The way I love you
Oh, for a friend
A friend you can count on
Be there for me and I'm yours till the end.

[Instrumental]

I just need you
I need you to want me
I want you to love me
The way I love you
Oh, for a friend
A friend you can count on
Be there for me and I'm yours till the end...

[Instrumental to fade]
