We need you
And even though I can do all these things by my-damn-self
We need you, yeah, we need you
I've been blessed thus far
I need you, yeah
I need you, I do, I do, I do, I do

I could be congresswoman or a garbage woman
I can pay my own light bill baby
We need you
Some things remain
I can even raise the child we'll make
But he needs you to help him be a man
I need you
I could be a computer analyst
And even though I can do all these things
Hot as the summer, sweet as the first kiss
I need you, we need you, we do
I can even stain and polyurethane
But some things just don't change
So hard to say

I can kill the spider above my bed
I can teach him how to walk and stand
I could be a doctor and a lawyer
What you've done to me, kind of lover I can be
I need you
Or I could be much more and a myriad of this
I can buy my own groceries baby
I can floss my own bling bling
Some things don't change
Although it's hard because I'm scared
I can buy my own shoe collection
And even though I can do all these things
We need you, we need you, we need you
Sometimes so hard to say, oh
And even though I can do all these here things
And a mother and a good God woman
Get my hair tight, my nails right
Make sure he's loved and knows what God gave us
Write the the words to the songs I sing
Or police officer or a carpenter
Pump my own gas in my own car
