About This Track

A duet from Eminem's 2017 album 'Revival', 'Need Me' casts P!nk as the voice of someone caught in a cycle of cleaning up after a partner who cannot seem to stay upright. She sings of burned carpets and returning home to mess, her exasperation tempered by the pull of a rare smile. The chorus circles the realisation that dependency might be mutual, even when the dynamic feels one-sided. Eminem's verse shifts the frame, adopting the perspective of the chaotic partner himself. He acknowledges the games, the denial, the pattern of second chances extended past reason. The self-awareness is sharp but does not translate into change; he compares himself to a father figure, admits to setting truth on fire rather than face it, and describes the relationship as a kind of co-dependence neither party can leave. The interplay between P!nk's weary patience and Eminem's admission of being a 'sucker' for someone he knows is trouble gives the track its tension, even if the execution feels more workmanlike than revelatory.

"Need Me" is a track by Eminem, from the album Revival, released 15th December 2017. It's filed under Hip-Hop/Rap. Full lyrics are available below. Dork has published 1 article about Eminem.

Lyrics

Need Me

[Verse 1: P!nk]

You're drunk, the carpet is burned

I hate to find you like this

I always find you like this

I come home and clean up your mess

What would you do without that?

Why do I always come back?

Oh, what I wouldn't do for you

[Chorus: P!nk]

And I'm startin' to think that maybe you need me

Maybe you need me

Maybe you need me

And I'm startin' to think that maybe you need me

Maybe you need me

Maybe you need me

[Verse 2: P!nk, P!nk & Eminem]

Some nights I want to run for the hills

It's never easy with you

I cannot reason with you

But your smile is as rare as it comes

What would I do without that?

Maybe that's why I come back

Oh, what I wouldn't do for you

[Chorus: P!nk]

And I'm startin' to think that maybe you need me

Maybe you need me

Maybe you need me

And I'm startin' to think that maybe you need me

Maybe you need me

Maybe you need me

[Verse 3: Eminem]

Startin' to think we were made for each other

But one of us in this relationship is raisin' the other

You remind me of my mother, we drive one another crazy as each other

And we're both adults, so there's no excuse for the games that we play with each other

Where you at? At a friend's? No, you ain't, motherfucker (Motherfucker)

But I give her the benefit of the doubt

Whenever the doubt kicks in, shiver when I touch her

'Cause I love her so much, I'm a sucker

How her bottom lip can quiver when she's in trouble

She's in hot water, think I caught her cheatin' again

Give her 'nother chance? 'Nother one after that?

I'm swimmin' in that Egyptian river, 'cause I'm in denial

Say I don't eat shit, but I got a shit-eatin' grin when I smile

Makin' an excuse for us to act it out

She's just actin' out with her inner child

Then I set the truth on fire

'Cause I'd rather believe a lie

Then I breathe a sigh of relief, I don't believe in goin' to bed mad

I keep on tryna make a bad girl good but haven't I stood by you in good times?

And bad? I'm startin' to feel like your goddamn dad

'Cause I literally feel like you could die, ever should I

Leave you for good and never would I, it'd be all bad

Huh, never understood why they call it goodbye

But I think I'm a pretty damn good guy

And you're a good person too

I can save you, I can make you change

But I keep puttin' my fuckin' foot in my mouth

Every time I gotta come and bail you out

When you get in trouble that you get yourself in

I'm miserable, but I can't leave, I'd sell you out

I could never turn my fuckin' back on you, what is that?

I'm co-dependent, I'm just now noticin' it

But somehow it's like every time I'm about to go to end it

I ain't got the cojones to do it, nor the heart

Our apartment's tore apart, you're usin' my heart for a dartboard

But God must've aligned stars for us

'Cause somebody paired us up (Paired us up)

And they say He ain't capable of makin' a mistake

But this one's perfect, 'cause I'm—

[Chorus: P!nk]

I'm startin' to think that maybe you need me

Maybe you need me

Maybe you need me

And I'm startin' to think that maybe you need me

Maybe you need me

Maybe you need me
