I see you passing by
I don't know where, I don't know why
You choose that way
That you're going now
You've been a friend of mine
For many years a long time
You just aren't you today
So what's on your mind?
You just won't speak about it, think about it, be about
Gotta make yourself aware that you're goin' astray
You're trying so hard to fit in

What you need is something genuine
What you want is something real
What you need is something truthful
I know you do
I know you do
I know you do
Cause I need it too
What you need what you need
What you want what you want
What you need what you need
Something genuine

You cry yourself to sleep
Sleep at night
But once the night is gone and you prepared to face a brand new day
You hide yourself behind
That mastermind
You're in disguise
It's as if you try to put a mask on your pain
You don't know who you are, what you're about, where are you now?
You're becoming someone that you don't want to be
You're trying so hard to fit in

What you need is something genuine
What you want is something real
What you need is something truthful
I know you do
I know you do
I know you do
Cause I need it too
What you need what you need
What you want what you want
What you need what you need
Something genuine

He loves you for who you are now
And who you'll be
Don't feer in truth there's reality
I don't have all the answers
But I know the One who does
And I know there's freedom and truth
I go with Him because

You need something genuine
I know you do
What you need is something truthful
What you need what you need
What you want what you want

What He has is something genuine
Who He is someone real
What he is is something truthful
It's what he has, it's who He is, it's who he is
And I need it too
What you need what you need
What you want what you want
What you need what you need
And I need Him too
What you need what you need
What you want what you want
What you need what you need
Do you know what you need?
I know what you need
Cause I need it too
Something genuine
He's something genuine
