Pump my own gas in my own car
I can buy my own shoe collection
I've been blessed thus far
I can kill the spider above my bed
Although it's hard because I'm scared
I can even stain and polyurethane
But some things just don't change
I need you yeah
Sometimes so hard to say oh
I need you
Some things remain
I could buy my own groceries baby
Get my hair tight, my nails right
I can floss my own bling bling
Write the words to the songs I sing
I can even raise the child we'll make
Make sure he's loved and knows what God gave us
I can teach him how to walk and stand
But he needs you to help him be a man
We need you
So hard to say
We need you
Some things don't change
I could be congresswoman
Or a garbage woman or
Police officer, or a carpenter
I could be a doctor and a lawyer and a mother and a good girl
God what you've done to me
Kind of lover I could be
I could be a computer analyst, the Queen with the nappy hair raising her fist
Or I could be much more and a myriad of this
Hot as the summer, sweet as the first kiss
And even though I can do all these things
I need you
And even though I can do all these things
We need you
We need you
We need you
And even though I can do all these things by my damn self
I need you
I do, I do, I do, I do
And even though I can do all these things
I need you
We need you
We do
We need you yeah
We need you
I can pay my own light bill baby Pump my own gas in my own car I can buy my own shoe collection I've been blessed thus far I can kill the spider above my bed Although it's hard because I'm scared I can even stain and polyurethane But some things just don't change I need you yeah Sometimes so hard to say oh I need you Some things remain I could buy my own groceries baby Get my hair tight, my nails right I can floss my own bling bling Write the words to the songs I sing I can even raise the child we'll make Make sure he's loved and knows what God gave us I can teach him how to walk and stand But he needs you to help him be a man We need you So hard to say We need you Some things don't change I could be congresswoman Or a garbage woman or Police officer, or a carpenter I could be a doctor and a lawyer and a mother and a good girl God what you've done to me Kind of lover I could be I could be a computer analyst, the Queen with the nappy hair raising her fist Or I could be much more and a myriad of this Hot as the summer, sweet as the first kiss And even though I can do all these things I need you And even though I can do all these things We need you We need you We need you And even though I can do all these things by my damn self I need you I do, I do, I do, I do And even though I can do all these things I need you We need you We do We need you yeah We need you Explain Request ×
