[Verse 1]
I can pay my own light bill, baby
Put my own gas in my own car
I can buy my own shoe collection
I've been blessed thus far
I can kill the spider above my bed
Although it's hard because I'm scared
I can even stain and polyurethane
But some things just don't change
[Hook 1]
I need you, yeah
Sometimes so hard to say
I need you
Some things remain
[Verse 2]
I could buy my own groceries, baby
Get my hair tight, my nails right
I can floss my own bling-bling
Write the words to the songs I sing
I can even raise the child we'll make
Make sure he's loved and knows what God gave
I can teach him how to walk and stand
But he needs you to help him be a man
[Hook 2]
We need you
So hard to say
We need you
Some things don't change
[Bridge]
I could be a Congresswoman or a garbagewoman
A police officer or a carpenter
I could be a doctor and a lawyer and a mother
And a "Good God, woman, what you done to me!?" kind of lover
I could be, I could be a computer analyst
The queen with the nappy hair raisin' a fist
Or I could be much more and a myriad of this
Hot as the summer, sweet as the first kiss
[Hook 3]
And even though I could do all of these things...
I need you
And even though I can do all of these things...
We need you...we need you, we need you
And even though I can do all these things by my damn self!
I need you...I do, I do, I do, I do
And even though I can do all of these here things...
I need you...we need you...
We do!
