You Need Me

As a child i missed a lot of love i never had



And daddy, he was distant, never there to hold my hand



Never bought the things he'd always promise to give me



Mother made a point of always watching over me



Days would go by and we would never see his face



In my mind i'd wonder does he have another place?



If and when he'd come in he would always be upset



All the kids were scared, his looks would always be a threat







Chorus:



Now that you are older and you begin to see



Family's important, to be there if you need



Father never taught us, these things mom said to me



Now the table's turned so tell me you need me







Daddy daddy dearest, what is it you want from me



I won't turn my back on you the way you did with me



Now you're trying to give, i'm always reaching out to grab



I'll give you what i can but i can't give what i don't have







Mother lends a shoulder, to cry on if you need



But are you there for mother when she needs your company?



Father never taught us, these things mom said to me



Now the table's turned so tell me you need me



Say you need me







If you realize we need each other



We would be a closer family



I need you, yeah, i need you, and you know that



Say you need me







Repeat chorus







Say you need me



Just you wait



You'll need me



(how'd that groove go? hey!)
