Lyrics

You Need Me

[Verse]

I'm sorry, I'm sorry

I won't do it again

I'm sorry, I love you

I won't do it again

I'm sorry, I need you

I love you more than myself

I'm sorry, I'm sorry

I won't do it again

[Outro]

I am your only friend

I am your only friend

I am your only friend

I am your only friend
