Brandon Rhyder, Lori McKenna - They Need Each Other lyrics

She don’t need him to fix the sink-
No she can do it herself
The tools are out in the shed-
And she don’t need his help
She learned it from her daddy-
He could fix most anything
No they don’t make’em like
They used to- anymore

He don’t need her to sew his shirt-
No he can do it himself
She keeps a needle and thread in
A basket- up on the shelf
He learned it from his mama- making
Hand me down blue jeans
Lookin’ brand new like they just
Came from the store

Don’t every strong man- need a strong woman
Don’t every little town- need a
River somewhere rollin’ through it
Don’t every summer night- need falling stars
Don’t every first kiss need the
Backseat of somebody’s daddy’s car
That’s just the way it is-
They depend on one another
That’s the way they need each other

She don’t need whisky to make him
Dizzy- she can do it herself
Dancing round and round in the kitchen
In a low cut dress
He don’t need diamonds to turn her on-
No he can do it himself
He pulls her in so close- she
Feels his heartbeat in his chest

He reaches over to turn off light-
She can’t reach it herself
Then she quietly reads his mind-
Before he reads it himself

Don’t every strong man- need a strong woman
Don’t every little town- need a
River somewhere rollin’ through it
Don’t every summer night- need falling stars
Don’t every first kiss need the
Backseat of somebody’s daddy’s car
That’s just the way it is-
They depend on one another
That’s the way they need each other
That’s the way they need each other
