Don't know what I want
Don't know what I need
Don't know who I am
Don't know who I'll be

This is simple shit indeed
And it might sound trite
But it's this shade that gives my days the shape of heavy plight

You cast a pall over my days since you passed away
Which is to say you left me in a state I can't escape
And until you're back I know I'll never ever be the same
Which is to say I know I'll never ever be the same

When will I have my way pretty baby?
When will I think that I need you?
Why won't you get out of my way?
Whenever I worry now: who do I reach to?
I can't wait for you even if I wanted to
Why would I let my love go?
Watch me as I say what no love can recover from
For a soul such as yours I would never say anything other than "I do"

You'd name me and I'd need you
You'd be deep and I'll be true
- "But you made me!"
- "That just what you do! Who was sleeping by myself at night, huh? Do you know?"
- "Who was in my way?"
- "I was in your way, boy?"
- "In the bed or in the cemetery?"
- "I wasn't your slave."
- "You could've had your way, babe."
- "No, I was not your baby.'"
- "You could've had my way, babe."
- "No, I cannot go on watching this."

World I need you, won't be without you

- "Ya you say that now, what happens even after you've tried to?"
- "Ain't nobody's different, you know just what you're missing."
- "You don't know what you did to me, I'm not the same outside of our rhythm."

World I need you

- "You don't know what you did to me when you say "what's up" in that your so very yours rhythm."

You loved me like no other did, boy
