I don't need you It's just that I need Something I can care about To pick me up and wash me down And wear me out if I want you It's just that I need something I can't do without To lift me up and let me down And lay me out to gather me And give some affection Romeo and Juliet Marilyn Monroe Anthony Cleopatra Joe Di Maggio You can say what you like But I don't think it's so you Go straight through my heart Little one I don't want you It's just that I need something I can't live without So tear me up and break me down And bare me out if I want you I recognize a need in me I can't disguise a brittle thing That kicks me like a broken knife That gathers me and gives me a reflection You can say what you like But I don't think its so you go straight To my heart little one Romeo me come see me I know what you are Possession is ninety nine tenths of it all I just need something I can really care about
