About This Track

'Needed' by Iann Dior is a 2019 Hip-Hop/Rap track from the album 'Industry Plant'. The lyrics find the singer refusing deception, recalling a relationship where their trust felt taken from them, and insisting they will not be controlled or outmanoeuvred, with the refrain “I was more than you needed” marking a stubborn, self-affirming turn. There is an edge of hurt, but the stance is resolute, aimed at cutting through attempts to mislead and close the door on the same familiar return.

Lyrics

Needed

I can't let you lie to me
Took my soul in spite of me
You made it so hard to see
You won't get the best of me

Woah-oh-oh
I was more than you needed (More than you needed)
Woah-oh-oh
Guess you couldn't keep it (You couldn't keep it)

I don't like it whenever you come around me
I got eyes, girl, you can't hide nothing around me
Don't play dumb, you don't know anything about me
I know you, wish you left me right where you found me
Oh-oh, think I'm better off lonely
Oh-no, think you don't even know me
Oh-oh, I see through what you told me
Girl, now you owe me, ah

I can't let you lie to me
Took my soul in spite of me
You made it so hard to see
You won't get the best of me

Woah-oh-oh
I was more than you needed (More than you needed)
Woah-oh-oh
Guess you couldn't keep it (You couldn't keep it)
Woah-oh-oh
I was more than you needed (More than you needed)
Woah-oh-oh
Guess you couldn't keep it (You couldn't keep it)
