The 2nd track on The Strypes' 2015 sophomore album Little Victories, “I Need To Be Your Only” is a bluesy rock song about a person who wants to be the only one that a certain girl will ever need.
[Verse 1]
She’s the bag she’s the leaf she’s the sugar
The full cup baby like no other
A happy hour no last orders
She’ll take you up when you think that you’re falling
[Chorus]
It’s so strange but you don’t even know me
And I need to be your only
[Verse 2]
Headline she’s the spread she’s the cover
Knocks me dead baby 6 feet under
She’s the first sip, she’s the last bus home
[Chorus]
And it’s so strange but she don’t even know me
And I need to be her only
[Verse 3]
She’s the bag, she’s the leaf, she’s the sugar
The full cup baby like no other
A happy hour no last orders
She’ll take you up when you think that you’re falling
[Chorus]
It’s so strange but she don’t even know me
I need to be her only
[Bridge]
You split my head up into two teams
My concentration’s fraying at the seams
You’re out of this world you’re the girl of my dreams
You’re my departure from reality
[Breakdown]
I need to be oh yeah I gotta be
Baby I just need to be your only
I need to be oh yeah I gotta be
Baby I just need to be your only
[Outro]
I need to be oh yeah I gotta be
Baby I just need to be your only
I need to be oh yeah I gotta be
Baby I just need to be your only
