From the recording THE ACHE OF POSSIBILITY
9. I NEED YOU (Music & Lyric by Louis Rosen)
I need you
Like a seed needs the rain
Love, I need you
Like pleasure needs pain
Oh, I need you
I need to have you here in my life
I need you
Like yang needs some yin
Love, I need you
Like confession needs sin
Oh, I need you
I need to have you here in my life
Like Paul needed John
And John needed Paul
Like a ball needs a gown
And a base needs a ball
Like a thief needs the night
And a knight needs a grail
We were meant to be together
The sooner the better
I need you
Like a bird needs a nest
Love, I need you
Like lemon needs zest
Oh, I need you
I need to have you here in my life
I need you
Like a skier needs snow
Love, I need you
Like a soul needs to grow
Oh, I need you
I need to have you here in my life
Like a baker needs flour
A flower needs a stem
Like an "I" needs a "we"
And an "us" needs a "them"
Like a phone needs a ring
And a ring needs a gem
We were meant to be together
The sooner the better
I need you
I need you
I need you
I need to have you here in my life
Like Michelle needs Barack
And Barack needs Michelle
Like a well needs a spring
And a wish needs a well
Like a skeptic needs faith
And a preacher needs Hell
We were meant to be together
The sooner the better
I need you
Like a beach needs a wave
Love, I need you
Like a bear needs a cave
Oh, I need you
Like a painter needs oil
Love, I need you
Like a pot needs to boil
Oh, I need you
Like a lover needs spice
Hmm, I need you
Like naughty needs nice
Oh, I need you
I need to have you here in my life
I need to have you here in my life
I need to have you here in my life
I need to have you here in my life
