i don't need you

it's just that i need

something i can care about

to pick me up and wash me down

and wear me out if i want you

it's just that i need something

i can't do without

to lift me up and let me down

and lay me out to gather me

and give some affection

romeo and juliet marilyn monroe

anthony cleopatra jo di maggio

you can say what you like

but i don't think it's so you

go straight through my heart

little one i don't want you

it's just that i need something

i can't live without

so tear me up and break me down

and bare me out if i want you

i recognise a need in me

i can't disguise a brittle thing

that kicks me like a broken knife

that gathers me and gives me a reflection

you can say what you like

but i don't think its so you go straight

to my heart little one

romeo me come see me

i know what you are

prossession is ninety nine tenths of it all

i just need something i can really care about
