lyrics

WHAT I NEED What I need is not shiny car, what I need is not a Gucci coat What I need is not some briar root on my boat What I need is not a huge tv to let my wills becoming deportees What I need is a smile when I’m feeling blue, what I need is a friend like You What I need is not a diamond ring, what I need is not a golden chain, what I need is not some caviar stock on my plane What I need is not a platinum cross to show my supposed faith off What I need is a tip when I feel like a fool, what I need is a friend like you What I need is a ride in your car What I need is your light when I’m dark What I need is a word from your heart It’s your voice when I feel alone, it’s your presence even when you’re gone It’s You What I need is a ride in your car What I need is your light when i’m dark What I need is a word from your heart It’s your voice when I feel alone, it’s your presence even when you’re gone, it’s a cheer before I get home, it’s You
