We Don't Need It |
I was afraid, to get out of the car |
So I just sat there, I just sat there |
How was I gonna tell them? |
That I lost my job |
Gotta go in there, gotta go in there |
So we gathered 'round the table |
Told them the news |
And the look of desperation |
Nearly broke me in two |
Son, I know you wanted |
Them running shoes |
Gonna have to wait, they going have to wait |
Darling, I know you wanted |
That dress in the window |
We gonna get it |
But it won’t be now |
Then my little girl looked at me |
With those big round eyes |
And the words she told me |
Almost made me cry! |
We don’t need it |
We can do without it |
We going to make it |
No doubt about it |
We’re going stick together |
Make it better |
We don’t need it |
All we need is you |
My son said; |
Daddy, I got sixteen books |
Why don’t you take it, I want you to take it |
The next door neighbor |
Asked me to rake the leaves |
And I’m gonna do it, I’m sure gonna do it |
'Cause I wanna help you out |
Anyway I can |
It’s about time I learn, just to be a man |
My wife said; |
Darling, we got so much stuff |
Just sitting around here, just sitting around |
Like grandmom’s china, and the sterling silverware |
Just sitting around here, just gathering dust |
Ever since she past away |
We ain’t used it yet |
So let’s put it out in the front yard |
And see what we can get |
And we don’t need it |
We can do without it |
We gonna make it |
No doubt about it |
We’re going stick together |
Make it better |
We don’t need it |
All we need is you |
Days and weeks |
And months went by |
The big boss called |
In a lickup town (?) |
Got my check |
And brought it home |
Yeah, it’s been tough |
But we’ve been blessed |
Let’s get them shoes |
And that brand new dress! |
We don’t need it |
We can do without it |
We gonna make it |
No doubt about it |
We’re going stick together |
Make it better |
We don’t need it |
All we need is you (you) |
We don’t need it |
We can do without it |
We gonna make it |
No doubt about it |
We’re going stick together |
And make it better |
We don’t need it |
All we need is you (loving you) |
We can do without it |
We gonna make it |
No doubt about it |
We’re going stick together (begin fading) |
And make it better |
We don’t need it |
All we need is you |
