Lyrics What You Need - David Campbell, John Bucchino

What You Need

The saxophone across the hall
Screams for harmony
Another voice
A counterpoint
Some company
Sing those blues, lonely saxophone
I’ll try to give you what you need
Sing those blues, lonely saxophone
I’ll try to give you what you need
The derelict flags down the cars
On the Bowery
With the dirty rag
And his paper bag
For company
Sing those blues, brother down and out
I’ll try to give you what you need
Sing those blues, brother down and out
I’ll try to give you what you need
If you tell yourself you’re satisfied
Nothing better will be found
But when it grows so dark
That you howl for th moon
Well, at least it gets your yes up off the ground
Love, I don’t need my windshield cleaned
You can have it all for free
Another voice
A counterpoint
Some company
But
Sing those blues, will you, anyway
'Cause I can’t give you what you need
Sing those blues with me
Take my hand
And we’ll go look
For what
We need
