[Verse 1]
I don't need you
It's just that I need something I can care about
To pick me up and wash me down and wear me out
If I want you
It's just that i need something I can't do without
To lift me up and let me down and lay me out
To gather me and give some affection
[Chorus]
Romeo and Juliet, Marilyn Monroe
Antony, Cleopatra, Jo Di Maggio
You can say what you like but I don't think it's so
You go straight through my heart, little one
[Verse 2]
I don't want you
It's just that I need something I can't live without
To tear me up and break me down and bare me out
If I want you
I recognise a need in me I can't disguise
A brittle thing that kicks me like a broken knife
That gathers me and gives me a reflection
[Chorus]
Romeo and Juliet, Marilyn Monroe
Antony, Cleopatra, Jo Di Maggio
You can say what you like but I don't think it's so
You go straight through my heart, little one
[Chorus]
Romeo and Juliet, Marilyn Monroe
Antony, Cleopatra, Jo Di Maggio
You can say what you like but I don't think it's so
You go straight through my heart, little one
Romeo me, come see me, I know what you are
Ah, possession is ninety nine tenths of it all
[Outro]
I could care about
I just need something I can really care about
I just need something I can really care about
I just need something I can really care about
I just need something I can really care about
Can care about
I just need something I can really care about
Can care about, can care about
I just need something I can really care about
Can care about, care about
I just need something I can really care about
