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
