I need a lover, a mirror, a reflector
to see me truly.
I need you.
I need an army, a battalion, a fortress
to fight my battles.
I need you.
I need the world to lay quiet for a day,
For an hour,
Til I find you.
I need life to chose sides, and always
Pick me
First, above all.
I need you
Lover, friend to always be there,
Reside with me, bid with me, side with me
Always.
I need you.
Who would that be,
You must know by now.
The you of this world
Has got to be me.

I need a lover, a mirror, a reflector
to see me truly.
I need you.
I need an army, a battalion, a fortress
to fight my battles.
I need you.
I need the world to lay quiet for a day,
For an hour,
Til I find you.
I need life to chose sides, and always
Pick me
First, above all.
I need you
Lover, friend to always be there,
Reside with me, bid with me, side with me
Always.
I need you.
Who would that be,
You must know by now.
The you of this world
Has got to be me.
