Lyrics

What I Need

Sometimes I need a hat, to keep my hair out of the tar
Sometimes I need restraints, to keep my hands off a guitar
Sometimes I need to be humbled, to keep from blowin' my own horn
Sometimes I need my baby, to keep my body warm

Sometimes I need to wait, to keep from goin' overboard
Sometimes I need some jazz, to keep me from being bored
Sometimes I need more sex, to keep my temperature down
Sometimes I need my baby, to keep from wearin' a frown


I need, I want I have to swing
I need, I crave, the lovin' that my baby brings
I need, I want, I have to swing
But baby your lovin's, what I need

Sometimes I need more back beat, to keep the groove goin' strong
Sometimes I need corrected, to keep from being wrong
Sometimes I need some mulah, to keep from being broke
Sometimes I need my baby, so we can laugh and joke

(Chorus)

Your, what I need, like sunlight to a leaf
what I need, like honey to a bee now
what I need, summer, fall, winter or spring
I can tell ya now, I can tell ya now,
Your what I need
