Something I Need

Like the hammer of love the moment that it hits ya
Like the hair of a dog the mornin' after it bit ya
Like the rough edge of love when it cuts to the heart
You just gotta let it bleed
You ain't just somethin' I want
No... You got somethin' I need
Somethin' I need

Like a bath when you're dirty, a drink when you're dry
Like the last cigarette before you give up for life
You know I'm dyin' of hunger, in desperate straits
I know I gotta habit to feed
You ain't just somethin' I want
No... You got somethin' I need
Somethin' I need

Got you in my sights
We're gonna put it right up the middle
'Cause I can do you right
You know I want it more than a little
It's what I need... need... need

Like a black cup of coffee when you been slammin' all night
They say I need to be quittin' but I don't take no advice
You got me walkin' sideways like a crab in the sand
My eyes fixed in a permanent bead
You ain't just somethin' I want
No... You got somethin' I need
Somethin' I need
