You Need Me, I Don't Need You

Now I′m in town, breaking down, thinking of making a new sound

Playing a different show every night in front of a new crowd

That's you now, ciao, seems that life is great now

Now see me lose focus as I sing to you loud

And I can′t, no, I won't hush

I say the words that make you blush

I'm gonna sing this now

Now-now-now, now-now-now

See, I′m true, my songs are where my heart is

I′m like glue, I stick to other artists

I'm not you, now that would be disastrous

So, let me sing and do my thing to move to greener pastures

See, I′m real, I do it all, it's all me

I′m not fake, don't ever call me lazy

I won′t stay put, give me the chance to be free

'Cause Suffolk sadly seems to sort of suffocate me, man, oh

'Cause you need me, man, I don′t

Yeah, you need me, man, I don′t, don't, don′t

You need me, man, I don't

Man, I don′t, man, I don't need you

You need me, man, I don′t

Yeah, you need me, man, I don't, don't, don′t

You need me, man, I don′t

Man, I don't, yeah

I sing and write my own tune, and I write my own verse

Now don′t need another wordsmith to make my tunes sell

So, call yourself a singer-writer, you're just bluffing

Name′s on the credits and you didn't write nothing

I sing fast, I know that all my shit′s cool

I will blast, and I didn't go to BRIT School

I came fast with the way I act, right

I can't last if I′m smoking on a crack pipe

And I won′t be the product of my genre

My mind'll always be stronger than my songs are

So, never believe the bullshit that fake guys will feed to ya

Always read the stories that you hear on Wikipedia

Yeah, and musically, I′m demonstrating

When I perform live, it's like I am meditating

Times at the Enterprise when some fella filmed me

A young singer-writer like Gabriella Cilmi

′Cause you need me, man, I don't

Yeah, you need me, man, I don′t, don't, don't

You need me, man, I don′t

Man, I don′t, man, I don't need you

You need me, man, I don′t

Yeah, you need me, man, I don't, don′t, don't

You need me, man, I don′t

Man, I don't

'Cause with the lyrics, I′ll be aiming it right

I won′t stop 'til my name′s in lights at stadium heights

With Damien Rice, on red carpets, now I'm on Arabian Nights

Because I′m young, I know my brother's gonna give me advice

A long-nighter, short height, and I gone hyper

Never be anything but a singer-songwriter, yeah

Hard game′s over, but now I'm on a new level

Watch how I step on the track without a loop pedal

People think that I'm bound to blow up

I′ve done around about a thousand shows

But I haven′t got a house, plus I live on the couch

So, you can believe the lyrics when I'm singing them out

Oh, from day one, I′ve been prepared

With V05 wax for my ginger hair

So now I'm back to the sofa, giving a dose of

What the future holds ′cause it's another day

Plus I′ll keep my last name forever, keep this genre pretty basic

Gonna be breaking into another people's tunes when I chase it

And replace it with the elephant in the room with a facelift

Into another rapper's shoes, using new laces

I′m selling CDs from my rucksack, aiming for the papers

Selling CDs from my rucksack, aiming for majors

Nationwide tour with Just Jack, soon as I get the bus back

Clean-cut kid without a razor for the moustache

I hit back when the pen hurts me

I′m still a choir boy in a Fenchurch tee

I'm still the same as years ago, but now more people hear me, though

According to the Myspace and YouTube videos

I′m always doing shows, if I'm not, I′m in the studio

Truly broke, never growing up, call me Rufio

Melody music maker, reading all the papers

They say I'm up and coming like I′m fucking in an elevator

'Cause you need me, man, I don't

Yeah, you need me, man, I don′t, don′t, don't

You need me, man, I don′t

Man, I don't, man, I don′t need you

'Cause you need me, man, I don′t

Yeah, you need me, man, I don't, don't, don′t

You need me, man, I don′t

Man, I don't, man, I don′t

'Cause you need me, man, I don′t

'Cause you need me, man, I don′t

'Cause you need me, you need me

You need me, man, I don't

′Cause you need me, man, I don′t

You need me, man, I don't

You need me, you need me

You need me, man, I don′t need you
