Melissa Etheridge - Don't You Need lyrics
[Melissa Etheridge - Don't You Need lyrics]
I had a dream late last night
The water was running low
And my fields were on fire burning my sky
My body was moving slow and when I awoke
I tasted the sweat of desire on my mouth
And I realized, my heart
Had abducted my mind
And they were last seen
Headed south now I can't sleep
I'm so wired and I find myself
Screaming out:
Don't you need? Don't you want?
Can't you taste it when you're alone?
Don't you cry? Don't you feel?
Sometimes I wonder if you are real
Don't you bleed? Don't you need?
There's no quenching the thirst
There's no relief for the hungry at heart
And as far as you're concerned
I'm just a thief entertaining in the dark
But it's you who holds the cards
Now that the joker is wild
Don't you need?
Don't you want? Can't you taste it
When you're alone? Don't you cry?
Don't you feel? Sometimes I wonder
If you are real don't you bleed?
Don't you need?
Don't you want to lay it down?
And feel your skin against the ground?
Don't you want to ride the storm?
And then sleep inside the calm?
Don't you want to get that high?
Don't you want to be satisfied?
Well, if you don't want it from me
Don't you need
I had a dream
Late last night the water was running low
And my fields were on fire burning my sky
How was I to know that I burn
Every night in my dreams?
And only morning can set me free
The water was running low
And my fields were on fire burning my sky
My body was moving slow and when I awoke
I tasted the sweat of desire on my mouth
And I realized, my heart
Had abducted my mind
And they were last seen
Headed south now I can't sleep
I'm so wired and I find myself
Screaming out:
Don't you need? Don't you want?
Can't you taste it when you're alone?
Don't you cry? Don't you feel?
Sometimes I wonder if you are real
Don't you bleed? Don't you need?
There's no quenching the thirst
There's no relief for the hungry at heart
And as far as you're concerned
I'm just a thief entertaining in the dark
But it's you who holds the cards
Now that the joker is wild
Don't you need?
Don't you want? Can't you taste it
When you're alone? Don't you cry?
Don't you feel? Sometimes I wonder
If you are real don't you bleed?
Don't you need?
Don't you want to lay it down?
And feel your skin against the ground?
Don't you want to ride the storm?
And then sleep inside the calm?
Don't you want to get that high?
Don't you want to be satisfied?
Well, if you don't want it from me
Don't you need
I had a dream
Late last night the water was running low
And my fields were on fire burning my sky
How was I to know that I burn
Every night in my dreams?
And only morning can set me free
