You Need Me, I Don't Need You

Lyrics

Now, I'm in town, break it down, thinking of making a new sound
 Playing a different show every night in front of a new crowd
 That's you now, ciao, seems that life is great now
 See me lose focus as I sing to you loud
 I can't, no, I won't hush
 I say the words that make you blush
 I'm gonna sing this now
 Ow, ow
 See, I'm true, my songs are where my heart is
 I'm like glue, I stick to other artists
 I'm not you, now, that would be disastrous
 Let me sing and do my thing and move to greener pastures
 See, I'm real, I do it all, it's all me
 I'm not fake, don't ever call me lazy
 I won't stay put, give me the chance to be free
 Suffolk sadly seems to sort of suffocate me, ow
 Oh, 'cause you need me, man, I don't need you
 You need me, man, I don't need you
 You need me, man, I don't need you at all
 You need me, man, I don't need you
 You need me, man, I don't need you
 You need me, man, I don't need you
 You need me, man, I don't need you at all
 You need me
 I sing and write my own tune and I write my own verse
 Hell, don't need another wordsmith to make my tune sell
 Call yourself a singer-writer, you're just bluffing
 Name's on the credits and you didn't write nothing
 I sing fast, I know that all my shit's cool
 I will blast, and I didn't go to Brit School
 I came fast with the way I act, right
 I can't last if I'm smoking on a crack pipe
 And I won't be a product of my genre
 My mind will always be stronger than my songs are
 Never believe the bullshit that fake guys feed to ya
 Always read the stories that you hear on Wikipedia
 And musically, I'm demonstrating
 When I perform live, feels like I am meditating
 Times at the enterprise when some fella filmed me
 "A young singer-writer like a Gabriella Cilmi"
 'Cause you need me, man, I don't need you
 You need me, man, I don't need you
 You need me, man, I don't need you at all
 You need me, man, I don't need you
 You need me, man, I don't need you
 You need me, man, I don't need you
 You need me, man, I don't need you at all
 You need me
 'Cause with the lyrics, I'll be aiming it right
 I won't stop 'til my name's in lights at stadium heights with Damien Rice
 On red carpets, now I'm on Arabian Nights
 Because I'm young, I know my brother's gonna give me advice
 Long nighter, short height and I gone hyper
 Never been anything but a singer-songwriter, yeah
 The game's over, but now, I'm on a new level
 Watch how I step on the track without a loop pedal
 People think that I'm bound to blow up
 I've done around about a thousand shows
 But I haven't got a house, plus I live on a couch
 So you believe the lyrics when I'm singing them out
 Wow, from day one, I've been prepared
 With VO5 wax for my ginger hair
 So now, I'm back to the sofa
 Giving a dose of what the future holds 'cause it's another day
 Plus I'll keep my last name forever, keep this genre pretty basic
 Gonna be breaking into other people's tunes when I chase it
 Replace it with the elephant in the room with a facelift
 Into another rapper's shoes using new laces
 I'm selling CDs from my rucksack, aiming for the papers
 Selling CDs from my rucksack, aiming for the majors
 Nationwide tour with Just Jack, still had to get the bus back
 Clean cut kid without a razor for the moustache
 I hit back when the pen hurts me
 I'm still a choir boy in a Fenchurch tee
 I'm still the same as a year ago, but more people hear me though
 According to the MySpace and YouTube videos
 I'm always doing shows, if I'm not, I'm in the studio
 Truly broke, never growing up, call me Rufio
 Melody music maker, reading all the papers
 They say I'm up and coming like I'm fucking in an elevator
 'Cause you need me, man, I don't need you
 You need me, man, I don't need you
 You need me, man, I don't need you at all
 You need me, man, I don't need you
 You need me, man, I don't need you
 You need me, man, I don't need you
 You need me, man, I don't need you at all
 You need me, man, I don't need you
