I can pay my own light bill baby
Pump my own gas in my own car
I can buy my own shoe collection

I've been blessed thus far
I can kill the spider above my bed
Although it's hard because I'm scared

I can even stain and polyurethane
But some things just don't change
I need you yeah

Sometimes so hard to say oh
I need you
Some things remain

I could buy my own groceries baby
Get my hair tight, my nails right
I can floss my own bling bling

Write the words to the songs I sing
I can even raise the child we'll make
Make sure he's loved and knows what God gave us

I can teach him how to walk and stand
But he needs you to help him be a man
We need you

So hard to say
We need you
Some things don't change

I could be congresswoman
Or a garbage woman or
Police officer, or a carpenter

I could be a doctor and a lawyer and a mother and a good girl
God what you've done to me
Kind of lover I could be

I could be a computer !@#^yst, the Queen with the nappy hair raising her fist
Or I could be much more and a myriad of this
Hot as the summer, sweet as the first kiss

And even though I can do all these things
I need you
And even though I can do all these things

We need you
We need you
We need you

And even though I can do all these things by my damn self
I need you
I do, I do, I do, I do

And even though I can do all these things
I need you
We need you

We do
We need you yeah
We need you
