I Need You

I Need You
Music: Lyndon Heart
Lyrics: Salome Strangelove

I need you like midnight needs a cabaret
Like burlesque needs the bump and grind
I need you like melody needs harmony
I need you so I don’t lose my mind

I need you like the first time needs the pain
Like knee socks need Catholic school
I need you like absinthe needs a sugar cube
I need you so I can break the rules

And
I know that I’m supposed to say
I’m self contained and self assured
I know that I’m supposed to be
The only one that holds the door
But
I need you like a secret needs to be revealed
Like stockings need a Cuban heel
I need you

I need you like religion needs a liar
Like Shakespeare needs tragedy
I need you like an old curse needs a voodoo doll
I need you so I can just be me

I need you like perdition needs the flames
Like a harlequin needs carivale
I need you like oysters need a young chablis
I need you like I need it all

I know that I’m supposed to say
I’m self contained and self assured
I know that I’m supposed to be
The only one that holds the door
But
I need you
Like I needed you each time before
Like yesterday and evermore

I need you
Like I need you
Like I need you
Like I need you
I need you
