Solomon Burke - We Don't Need It lyrics

Here I am at home (hrum, hrum hrum) 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
