Don't need a roller or a limousine

Don't need my picture in a magazine

Don't need approval of a chosen few

Tell you what I do need

I need you



Don't need no fixtures fittings or phone

I'm so unfurnished, I'm on my own

I don't need reminding when the rent is due

I tell you what I do need

I need you



I need you like a flier needs a plane

Oh I need you like a ball needs a game

I need you like a pool needs a cue

Need you, need you, need you

I need you



I don't need no cupboard kisses for company

Don't want no washed up dishes soft soaping me

I don't need no other fella, honey I refuse

Tell you what I do need

I need you



Oh I need you like a flier needs a plane

Oh I need you like a ball needs a game

I need you like a shot needs to shoot

Need you, need you, need you

I need you



Need you, need you, need you

I need you



Need you, need you, need you

I need you
