Just What I Need

Headaches pass
heartaches never do
they hang around and wait
for someone new
someone naive enough to believe
this time it's for real

break-ups hurt
time and time again
there's just no way
of getting used to them
makes it harder to believe
next time it's for real

baby you're just what I need
just what I want
while I know for a fact
that it won't last long
you'd better get out
while you still can

the city sleeps
but I stay up all night
I sing along
to bluesy heartbreak songs
makes it harder to believe
next time is for real

baby you're just what I need
just what I want
while I know for a fact
that it won't last long
you'd better get out
while you still can

but if you're not impressed
with a broken heart
I suggest you stay
though it might seem I have lost all hope
I've got nothing left to lose
I can easily be persuaded
and fall in love with you

baby you're just what I need
just what I want
while I know for a fact
that it won't last long
you'd better get out
while you still can
I'd better keep trying
while I still can
