Chris Brown I Needed You Lyrics

I Needed You Lyrics

Told that I was supposed to fail

I wouldn't amount to much of nothin'.

Yes, I pray

There was days I wondered if you really loved me.

"But, baby, you feel pain"

Mama would say when I felt like runnin'
away.

I couldn't take it.

I, soon, hit ten, angry with all of the
world.

I couldn't keep friends, just wishin' you'd come back and see

My difficult times being an adolescent.

And like so many just like me,
without a shoulder to lean.





I needed you

When I
needed a father figure.

I needed you

To stop me from makin' a wrong
decision.

At seventeen, when the cold of the world had my back up against
the wall.



I need, I needed you.

I need, I needed you.



Told that I was supposed to fail

I wouldn't amount to much of
nothin'.

Yes, I pray

There was days I wondered if you really loved
me.

"But, baby, you feel pain"

Mama would say when I felt like
runnin' away.

I couldn't take it.

I, soon, hit ten, angry with all
of the world.

I couldn't keep friends, just wishin' you'd come back and
see

My difficult times being an adolescent.

And like so many just
like me, without a shoulder to lean.





I needed you

When I needed a father figure.

I needed you

To stop me from
makin' the wrong decisions.

At seventeen, when the cold of the world had
my back up against the wall.

When temptation was calling me, didn't know
which way to go.

I needed you.

I need, I needed you.

I needed
you.

I need, I need you.

Seventeen when the cold of the world had my
back up against the wall.

When temptation was calling me, didn't know
which way to go.



Mama had no financial help

And thoughts of
breakin' the law came.

Seen her tryna hold down two jobs was tearin' up
on me had a way (had a way).

All my friends was gettin' in it

It
came time for me to get that dough.

Wrong or right I had to go for what I
know.



I needed you

When I needed a father figure.

I
needed you

To stop me from makin' the wrong decisions.

At
seventeen, when the cold of the world had my back up against the wall.

When temptation was calling me, didn't know which way to go.

I needed
you.

I need, I needed you.

I needed you.

I need, I need
you.

Seventeen when the cold of the world had my back up against the
wall.

When temptation was calling me, didn't know which way to go.



Lord I pray. Give me strength to forgive them and not all the I hate I
got. Even though the pain of this was too heavy. Lord I pray. Show me all
brothers growin' up without a father had a turn with a day adolescent to a
legacy. Lord I pray.)



From the knowledge I ain't get

God,
you gave me.

And temptation was callin' me, didn't know which way to
go.



I needed you

When I needed a father figure.

I
needed you

To stop me from makin' the wrong decisions.

At
seventeen, when the cold of the world had my back up against the wall.

When temptation was calling me, didn't know which way to go.
