[Verse 1]
Don't tell me how you're fixed up for money
That's what I'd expect you to say
Don't talk to me 'bout change while you're shaking
We don't got to talk that way
And don't cry about the soul that I'll be saving
And don't press me with your method of repayment
You shatter all my world and then you look above
And scream "I need it"

[Verse 2]
One heavy shot of transportation
Will take you where you want to go
What happened to that girl I knew
Who used to like the view at home
But hunger gets you if you feel like you can feed it
But it's tougher every time that it's repainted
It makes me sad because you used to have something for me
And I need it

[Bridge]
And then the night I show I'm at your place
You're acting like you've never seen my face
It's bad enough to have a little taste
Because you need it, you need it
You need it every day
[Guitar Solo]

[Verse 3]
So I'm locked outside your green garden gate
You're inside and you're all alone
You've taken so much out of your friends
That they won't lend you a comb
Now you say please don't come around here just to mourn for me
You make the mistake of a-thinking you were born for me
If you love me, the reason you give me what I want
Is 'cause I need it
I need it
I need it
I need it
I need it
