::Verse 1::
Well I took my car to find you
Drove down every lane
Looked in all the backyards
Then I went back through again
Then I took a Greyhound
Headed way out West
I found some friends who knew you
But they told me you had already left
::Pre-Chorus::
Oh why do I need you so
Like a cop needs a crime
::Chorus::
Well Ive practiced in the mirror
Saying things to make my mind go clear
Prayed until my knees were black and blue
And if love is a cut well its one that never seems to shut
Comes up every morning like its new
And I still want you
::Verse2::
I remember when we travelled up
To see the Arctic sun
Stopped to buy you cigarettes
Came back and you were gone
Then I had to follow
A trail of unpaid bills
You maxed out all my credit cards
And took all of the money from my till
::Pre-Chorus::
Oh why do I need you so
Like a drowning man needs a line
::Chorus::
Well Im burning with desire
Standing way too close to every fire
I know Ill pay the price when it comes due
And no matter how I try resolutions fall in record time
Thoughts of your sweet smile coming through
And I still want you
::Solo::
::Pre-Chorus Material::
Oh why do I need you so
Like a drunk needs wine
::Verse 3::
Well theres grey skies behind me
Thunder up ahead
Im hooked on this sensation
And Im easily misled
And if I ever find you
I hope I will someday
I wont waste time on clever lines
Just smile at you and then Ill walk away
::Pre-Chorus::
Oh why do I need you so
Like a dying man needs time
::Chorus::
Well Ive practiced in the mirror
Saying things to make my mind go clear
Prayed until my knees were black and blue
And if love is a cut well its one that never seems to shut
Comes up every morning like its new
And I still want you
And I still want you
::Outro::
