Jon Batiste – I NEED YOU #lyrics

We done a lot of livin’
We workin’ overtime
Don’t need another million
You got that gold mine
I love the way you’re livin’
‘Cause you’re so genuine
You got that something special
Didn’t you know?
I just need you, you, you

Imagine when I was a lil’ nappy head boy
And I never put down my alto saxophone, yeah
Buck trippin’ down on the boulevard
I couldn’t wait to blow my own horn
It ain’t wrong for you to play along
Playin’ this song ’til you die, come on, come on

In this world with a lot of problems
All we need is a little loving
Thank you, thank you
Oh, you make me thank you
Thank you for your love

We done a lot of livin’
We workin’ overtime
Don’t need another million
You got that gold mine
I love the way you’re livin’
‘Cause you’re so genuine
You got that something special
Didn’t you know?
I just need you (yeah), you (yeah), you (come on now)

Met you when I was a lil’ country boy
And I never put down that pork chop and salt (mm)
Then we fell in love on the boulevard
If you was Jenny, I guess I was Forrest (run)
Nah, it ain’t wrong for you to sing along
Singin’ this song ’til you die (ah-ooh)

In this world with a lot of problems
All we need is a little loving
Thank you, thank you
Oh, you make me thank you
Thank you for your love

That’s alright

We done a lot of livin’
We workin’ overtime
Don’t need another million
You got that gold mine
I love the way you’re livin’
‘Cause you’re so genuine
You got that something special
Didn’t you know?
I just need you, you, you (yeah)
I need you (yeah), you (yeah)

You (oh), you (come on)
You, you
You (yeah, baby)
