I DON'T NEED

I DON’T NEED

I don't need to run your life.

I don't need you to be my wife.

I just want to hold you near.

I just want to hear you call me dear.

I don't need to make all things right.

I don't need to be your guiding light.

I just want to walk with you and hold your hand.

I just want to help you make your stand.

I don't need to control your place.

I don't need for us to have a race.

I just want to be able to state my case.

I just want to move the hair from your face.

I don't need you to cook me fancy meals.

I don't need for us to make any deals.

I just want to hold you close and gaze into your eyes.

I just want to hear that you won't say goodbye.

I don't need to own your soul.

I don't need to change your life, that's not my goal.

I just want you to understand what's coming from me.

I just want you to be happy with your family.

I don't need to play any games.

I don't need fortune or fame.

I just want to kiss away your pain.

I just want to hear you call my name.

I don’t need you to pay for anything and that’s the key.

I don’t need you to buy anything for me.

I just want to dance slowly in the dark with you, so very much.

I just want to be alone with you and feel your touch.

I don't need you every minute of the day.

I don't need you just to play.

I just want to hear the words that are true.

I just want you to know, baby, all I need is you.
