Janet - YOU NEED ME



As a child I missed out on the love I never had
And daddy he was distant
Never there to hold my hand
Never bought the things he'd always promise to give me
Mother made up for him always watching over me
Days would go by and we would never see his face
In my mind I'd wonder "Does he have another place?"
If and when he'd come in he would always be upset
All the kids were scared his next syndrome would be a threat

CHORUS
Now that you are older and you begin to see
Family's important to be there if you need
Father never taught us these things mom said to me
Now the table's turned so tell me you need me
Tell me

Just admit, you need me

Tell me daddy dearest, what is it you want from me (Tell me)
I won't turn my back on you the way you did with me
Now you try to give and always reaching out to grab
I'll give you what I can but I can't give what I don't have
Mother needs a shoulder, to cry on if you need
But are you there for mother if she needs your company?

Father never taught us, these things mom said to me
Now the table's turned so tell me
You need me

Tell me
Tell me
Say, You need me

If you realize we need each other, we would be a closer family
I need you, yeah
I need you, and you know that
Say (Tell me)
You need me

CHORUS

Tell me that you need me
Tell me that you love me
Tell me that you need me
Just admit, You need me

CHORUS 2X

Are you there for mother
Are you there for mother
Are you there for mother

Say, You need me
