[Chorus]
We done a lot of living
We working overtime
Don't need another million
You got that gold mine
I love the way you're livin'
'Cause you so genuine
You got that something special
Didn't you know?
I just need you, you, you
[Verse 1]
Met you when I was a lil' nappy head boy
And I never put down my alto saxophone, yeah
Buckjumpin' down on the boulevard
I couldn't wait to blow my own horn (Woo)
It ain't wrong for you to play along
Playing this song 'til you die, come on
[Pre-Chorus]
In this world with a lot of problems
All we need is a little loving
Thank you, thank you, oh, you make me
Thank you, thank you for your love
[Chorus]
We done a lot of living
We working overtime
Don't need another million
You got that gold mine
I love the way you're livin' (Hey)
'Cause you're so genuine (Genuine)
You got that something special
Didn't you know?
I just need you, you, you (Come on, now)
[Verse 2]
Met you when I was a lil' country boy
And I never put down that pork chop and salt
Then we fell in love on the boulevard
If you was Jenny, I guess I was Forrest (Run)
Nah, it ain't wrong for you to sing along
Singing this song 'til you die
[Pre-Chorus]
In this world with a lot of problems
All we need is a little loving
Thank you, thank you, oh, you make me
Thank you, thank you for your love
[Chorus]
We done a lot of living (Whole lotta)
We working overtime (Overtime)
Don't need another million
You got that gold mine (Gold mine)
I love the way you're livin'
'Cause you're so genuine (Genuine)
You got that something special
Didn't you know?
I just need you, you, you
You, you, you, you

Jon Baptiste:
It’s the same message as ‘CRY,’ but it’s the opposite. ‘I NEED YOU’ is Black social music mixed in with a pop song. It’s like if you took the music that Little Richard or James Brown, or my father and uncles, would play in the Chitlin’ Circuit in the 1940s. The type of dance like the...
