Letra de I needed you

Told that I´m supposed to fail
I wouldn´t amount to much of nothin´.
Yes I pray
There was days I wondered if you really loved me.
But baby you feel pain.
Mama was savin´ a pair like runnin´ away.
I couldn´t take it.
So hinted and angry with all of the world.
I couldn´t keep friends just wishin´ you´d come back and see
My difficult times being an adolescent.
And like so many just like me without a shoulder to lean.

I needed you
When I needed a father figure.
I needed you
To stop me from makin´ a wrong decision.
At seventeen, when the cold of the world had my back up against the wall.

I need, I needed you.
I need, I needed you.
