Paul Carrack - I Need You Lyrics






Don't need a roller or a limousine
I don't need my picture in a magazine
I don't need approval from a chosen few
Tell you what I do need, I need you

Don't need no fixtures or feelings of home
I'm so unfurnished, I'm on my own
I don't need reminding, when the rent is due
Tell you what I do need, I need you

I need you like a fly needs a plane
I need you like a ball needs a game
I need you like a pool needs a cue
I need you, need you, need you, I need you

I don't need no covered kisses for company
I don't want no washed up dishes, soft soapin' me
I don't need no Cinderella in high heeled shoes
I tell you what I do need, I need you
(I need you)

Oh, I need you like a fly needs a plane
I need you like a ball needs a game
I need you like a shot needs to shoot
I need you, need you, need you, I need you

I need you, need you, need you
(I need you)
Said, I want you
(I need you)
I need you, need you, need you
(I need you)

But I want, I want you
(I need you)
Yes, I need
(I need you)

I need you, need you, need you
(I need you)
I want you, want you, want you
(I need you)

    Superb performance. Neat single. Linda Rondstadt had a go at it too and did well.

    Pauls music has a new wave twist about it, good beats and said simply type love songs like this with his unique voice...this was a classic from the word Go.

    I love this song! Unfortunately, like many 80's songs, it never got much airplay!

  19. T.... ....

    ..........Oh the good ole days of MTV!

  20. R.... v....

    In The Netherlands it entered the charts in January 1983 and reached the 15th place in the Top 40 and stayed there for 7 weeks... Only to be followed by Don't shed a tear in 1987 en Dedicated in 1990... Paul deserved more hitsin The Netherlands! Such a shame... Great song though! I also have the 45RPM and searching for the album Suburban Voodoo! Anyone?? ;-)

  21. d.... ....

    I still have the 45 RPM single at Home...

  22. o.... ....

    Under rated and under appreciated, Paul Carrack may be on his way back!! Hope so..

  23. D.... W....

    Hit #20 AC, #22 rock, #37 pop in the US (Billboard). How'd it do in the UK? God bless!

  24. D.... W....

    Paul went on to sing in Mike + the Mechanics. Peaked at only #37.

  25. g.... ....

    Genius!
