i don`t need you
it`s just that i need something i can care about
to pick me up and wash me down and wear my out
if i want you
it`s just that i need something i can`t do without
to lift me up and let me down and lay me out
to gather me and give me some affection

you can say what you like
but i don`t think it`s so
you go straight through my heart
little one]
i don`t want you
it`s just that i need something i can`t live without
so tear me up and break me down and bare me out
if i want you
i recognise a need in me i can`t disguise
a brittle thing that kicks me like a broken knife
that gathers me and gives me a reflection

romeo me come see me
i know what you are
possession is ninety nine
tenths of it all
