Janet Jackson - You Need Me lyrics

As a child I missed a lot of love I never had And daddy he was distant Never there to hold my hand Never bought the things he'd always promise to give me Mother made up for him always watching over me Days would go by and we would never see his face In my mind I'd wonder "Does he have another place?" If and when he'd come in he would always be upset All the kids were scared his next syndrome would be a fret Now that you are older and you begin to see Family's important to be there if you need Father never taught us these things mom said to me Now the table's turned so tell me you need me Tell me Tell me Tell me Just to me You need me Daddy daddy dearest, what is it you want from me (Tell me) I won't turn my back on you the way you did with me Now you try to give and always faking not to cry I'll give you what I can but I can't give what I don't have Mother lends a shoulder, to cry on if you need But are you there for mother when she needs your company? Father never taught us, these things mom said to me Now the table's turned so tell me You need me Tell me Tell me Tell me Tell me Say You need me If you realize we need each other, we will be a closer family. I need you, yeah I need you, and you know that Say You need me Now that you are older and you begin to see Family's important to be there if you need Father never taught us, no no never taught us Just to me You need me Tell me that you need me Tell me that you love me Tell me that you need me Just to me Say You need me Now that you are older and you begin to see Family's important to be there if you need Father never taught us these things mom said to me Now the table's turned so tell me you need me Tell me Tell me Tell me Just to me You need me Mother lends a shoulder to cry on if you need But are you there for mother when she needs your company? Are you there for mother? Are you there for mother? Are you there for mother? Father never taught us these things mom said to me Just to me You need me
