[Refrain: Steve Diggle, Steve Diggle & Pete Shelley]
I need
I need
I need
I need

[Verse 1: Pete Shelley, Steve Diggle, Steve Diggle & Pete Shelley]
I used to only want, but now I need
To get by with what I got, but now I need
I need
I used to only want, but now I need

[Chorus: Pete Shelley & Steve Diggle]
I need sex, I need love
I need drink, I need drugs
I need food, I need cash
I need you to love me back

[Refrain: Steve Diggle, Steve Diggle & Pete Shelley]
I need
I need
I need
I need

[Verse 2: Pete Shelley, Steve Diggle, Steve Diggle & Pete Shelley]
I just can't do without, 'cause now I need
The things I care about, 'cause now I need
I need
I used to only want, but now I need
[Chorus: Pete Shelley & Steve Diggle]
I need sex, I need love
I need drink, I need drugs
I need food, I need cash
I need you to love me back

[Refrain: Steve Diggle, Steve Diggle & Pete Shelley]
I need
I need
I need
I need

[Verse 3: Pete Shelley, Steve Diggle, Steve Diggle & Pete Shelley]
And now I have to dream because I need
Of a necessary scheme to get me what I need
I need
I used to only want, but now I need

[Instrumental Break]

[Refrain: Steve Diggle, Steve Diggle & Pete Shelley]
I need
I need
I need
I need
[Verse 4: Pete Shelley, Steve Diggle, Steve Diggle & Pete Shelley]
The things I used to crave for, now I need
Have made me just a slave for what I need
I need
Yes, I am just a slave for what I need

[Chorus: Pete Shelley & Steve Diggle]
I need sex, I need love
I need food, I need drugs
I need food, I need cash
I need you to love me back

[Outro: Pete Shelley]
You to love me back
You to lovе me back
