Janet Jackson - You Need Me lyrics
[Janet Jackson - You Need Me lyrics]
As a child
I missed a lot of love I never had
And daddy, he was distant
Never there to hold my hand
Never bought the things he'd always
Promise to give me mother made up for him
Always watching over me
Days would go by and we
Would never see his face in my mind
I'd wonder "Does he have another place?"
If and when he'd come in
He would always be upset
All the kids were scared
His looks alone would be a threat
Now that you are older and you begin to see
Family's important to be there if you need
Father never taught us these things
Mom said to me
Now the table's turned, so tell me
You need me
Tell me just admit
You need me
Daddy daddy dearest
What is it you want from me? (Tell me)
I won't turn my back on you
The way you did with me now you try to give
I'm always reaching out to grab
I'll give you what I can
But I can't give what I don't have
Mother lends a shoulder
To cry on if you need
(Mother lends a shoulder)
But are you there for mother
When she needs your company?
(When she needs your company)
Father never taught us
These things mom said to me
(Father never taught us)
Now the table's turned, so tell me
You need me
Tell me tell me
Tell me tell me
Say you need me
If you realize we need each other
We would be a closer family
I need you, yeah (You need me) i need you
And you know that say (Tell me)
You need me (Tell, tell) tell me
(Now that you are older)
Now that you are older and you begin to see
Family's important to be there if you need
Father never taught us, no
No never taught us just admit
You need me
Tell me that you need me
(Now that you are older)
Tell me that you love me
(Now that you are older)
Tell me that you need me
(Now that you are older) just admit
Say you need me
Now that you are older and you begin to see
Family's important to be there if you need
Father never taught us these things
Mom said to me (Father never taught)
Now the table's turned
So tell me you need me
Mother lends a shoulder to cry on if you need
But are you there for mother
When she needs your company?
Are you there for mother?
Are you there for mother?
Are you there for mother?
Father never taught us these things
Mom said to me just admit
You need me
I missed a lot of love I never had
And daddy, he was distant
Never there to hold my hand
Never bought the things he'd always
Promise to give me mother made up for him
Always watching over me

Would never see his face in my mind
