Something I Need Lyrics

(Don Barnes-Jim Peterik)



Like the hammer of love the moment that it hits ya

Like the hair of a dog the mornin after it bit ya

Like the rough edge of love when it cuts to the heart

You just gotta let it bleed

You ain't just somethin I want

No... You got somethin I need

Somethin I need.



Like a bath when your dirty, a drink when your dry

Like the last cigarette before you give up for life

You know I'm dyin of hunger, in desperate straits

I know I gotta habit to feed

You ain't just somethin I want

No... You got somethin I need.

Something I need.



Got you in my sights

We're gonna put it right up the middle

Cause I can do you right

You know I want it more than a little

It's what I need...need ..need



Like a black cup of coffee when you been slammin all night

They say I need to be quittin but I don't take no advice

You got me walkin sideways like crab in the sand

My eyes fixed in a permanent bead

You ain't just somethin I want

No... You got somethin I need

Something I need.
