Lyrics

Needs

I've got means and I've got needs
I've got to learn a lot of things
At least you've got somebody to love
At least you've got somebody to love
I have a lot of means
I can't believe you're wasting your life with me
Baby, you have got somebody to love
Baby, you have got somebody to love
To love, oh

You're not (you're not)
Bothered by what you see or what you've read
What you see or what you've read, no
You're not (you're not)
Impressed by what I do or how I dress
What I do or how I dress, no

I've been mean and I've been sweet
Come out and open skies for me
Melody makes you cry again
Now that's the way we roll, yeah
I have got a lot of means
I can't believe you're wasting your life with me
Baby, you have got somebody to love
Baby, you have got somebody to love
To love, oh

You're not (you're not)
Bothered by what you see or what you've read
What you see or what you've read, no
You're not (you're not)
Impressed by what I do or how I dress
What I do or how I dress, no

Take the feeling in your head
The rattle in your chest away
(Away) away
Take the feeling in your head
The rattle in your chest away
(Away) away

Away

Away

I've been dreaming, I've been sleeping
Never waking up again
Melody saves me once again
Now that's the way we roll, yeah
I have got a lot of means
I can't believe you're wasting your life with me
Baby, you have got somebody to love
Baby, you have got somebody to love
