Akala - I Don't Need lyrics

Yo listen

Okay

I don't need for you to have long
Blonde weave down to your knees
I don't need for you to have the
Latest Gucci shoes or Christian Dior dress
I don't need, in-fact
I don't want you to parade
Around in your underwear
And booty shake for me in a video
I don't need for you to sing RnB
I don't need for you to
Be an independent woman
And I don't wanna be an independent man
But if we can get along and laugh
And talk and have sex and dream
And laugh and talk and still like each other
Then maybe, just maybe
We can depend on each other

I don't need for you to wear
Red lipstick or lip gloss or
Face dust, I like your face
Just fine as it is, i don't need for you to
Paint your nails or to
Add fake ones I think they look kinda silly
I don't need to see your
Cleavage or your thighs
I'm still getting over your
Eyes and your smile
And I don't need any more distractions
I don't need, in fact
I don't want you to sit a certain way or
Talk like this or walk like a supermodel
I don't need you to lose weight
I do need stimulating conversation
It's like Dead Prez said - I need mind sex
I do need to laugh with you
I do need to dream with you
I do need to be able to be honest with you

Maybe I'm getting old but
I'm finding that when you get to know a
Woman vertically they can
Be incredibly interesting
Inspiring creatures
Just watching you work, watching you think
Watching you eat maybe I'm getting old but
I can't be bothered to follow
My dick around everywhere
I'm happy here and to be honest
I just ain't got the energy
Maybe I'm getting old but
I feel like it's okay to be vulnerable, to be
Upset, to admit I ain't the biggest, baddest
Strongest man on the planet
And sometimes I feel inadequate
Maybe I'm getting old but I just
Don't need it any more

Yah know
