[Verse 1] I see you there, I'm tryin not to stare but I don't really care You keep your distance but I know its there I know your secrete I can feel it you say it’s all good, you say it’s all clean, but I’ve seen the way your eyes leave the room when I need you, and I can’t shake this ache in between. [Pre-Chorus] You step close, then you slip away, leave me barefoot on the edge of the bay, I can taste your truth, I can hear your lie, and it knocks me sideways every time. [Chorus] You got what I need, baby, you got what I need, yeah, you got what I need, baby, you got what I need, but you keep it outta reach, yeah, keep it outta reach, say it’s all good, say it’s all clean, but it don’t feel the same to me. [Verse 2] I was born with a hard little hunger, I don’t ask for gold, I don’t ask for shine, just a honest hand and a seat at the table, just a little of your time. You come in late with your perfume on cedar, laughing too loud at the old front gate, but I know that look when a heart’s playing clever, and I know when a promise can’t wait. [Pre-Chorus] You step close, then you slip away, leave me barefoot on the edge of the bay, I can taste your truth, I can hear your lie, and it knocks me sideways every time. [Chorus] You got what I need, baby, you got what I need, yeah, you got what I need, baby, you got what I need, but you keep it outta reach, yeah, keep it outta reach, say it’s all good, say it’s all clean, but it don’t feel the same to me. [Bridge] [Half-time, vocal harmonies swell] If you want me, say it plain, don’t leave my heart out in the rain, I can hold my own, I can take the heat, but I can’t keep dancing to your retreat. So come on, come on, let it be, either bring that love or let me be free. [Chorus] You got what I need, baby, you got what I need, yeah, you got what I need, baby, you got what I need, but you keep it outta reach, yeah, keep it outta reach, say it’s all good, say it’s all clean, but it don’t feel the same to me. [Outro] You got what I need, baby, you got what I need, but you keep it outta reach, yeah, keep it outta reach, I’m standing at the door with the red-handled key, and it don’t feel the same to me.
