I Need You

Edie Carey


Just when I had lost my sense of humor 
My heart was just a tangle of barbed wire 
You could get to me but I'd get to you sooner 
I quit before I'm fired 

Tried every trick to stop you in your tracks 
Shot off my gun to run you off my land 
You just stood there trying not to laugh 
And held up your hands 

That's when I knew your aim was steady 
That's when I knew, but you knew it already 

That I need you, just a little, just a little 
I need you all right 

I was taking pride in being lonely 
I was busy making friends with myself 
There's nobody else who really knows me half as well 

I know how to rock me like a baby 
And know how to sing myself to sleep 
But I'm starting to think maybe, just maybe 
Surrender can be sweet 

That's what you do, you make it so easy 
That's what you do, you got me believing 

That I need you, just a little, just a little 
I need you all right 
I need you just a little, just enough 

To be open, to be grateful, to be broken, but hopeful 

I need you, just a little, just a little 
I need you, all right, are you satisfied? 
I need you, just a little, just a little
