(verse 1) There you stand again Eyes downcast and guilty With that puppy-dog grin You beg You plead Expect me to absolve your sin You need me to make it right I want you to stop this fight (pre-chorus) You need, need, need And I want, want, want…. (chorus) I know you need me But you don’t want me I’m tired of the mess And all of this stress I don’t want to be your mother I thought I was your lover But I can’t fill your hunger Go find another I want you to want me (verse 2) In the beginning Your desire was the show I knew you wanted only me You always made that known Your whispers, your touch, Your kiss Made your want hard to miss But now the heat Takes second place To the need inside your soul I just want you to want me But your need is a hungry black hole (pre-chorus) You plead, plead, plead You need, need, need… (chorus) I know you need me But you don’t want me I’m tired of the mess And all of this stress I don’t want to be your mother I thought I was your lover But I can’t fill your hunger Go find another I want you to want me (bridge) Need is an emptiness Need has no voice Want is a hunger Want is a choice (verse 3) I think it’s time To walk away Nothing fills you anymore Your need has become A deep, dark well And I’m not a revolving door I’m not your daily mana I’m a woman with a heart I need you to want me To make our love an art But you’re a greedy little needer And I choose not to be your healer (pre-chorus) You feed, feed, feed You need, need, need… (chorus) I know you need me But you don’t want me I’m tired of the mess And all of this stress I don’t want to be your mother I thought I was your lover But I can’t fill your hunger Go find another I wanted you to want me I choose to be wanted
