The Fact Is (I Need You)

I can pay my own light bill baby

pump my own gas in my own car

I can buy my own shoe collection

I've been blessed thus far

I can kill the spider above my bed

although it's hard because I'm scared

I can even stain and polyurethane

But some things just don't change

I need you

Sometimes so hard to say

I need you

Some thing remail

I can buy my own groceries baby

Get my hair thight my nails right

I can floss my own bling bling

Write the the words to the songs I sing

I can even raise the child we'll make

Make sure he's loved and knows what God gave us

I can teach him how to walk and stand

but I need you to help him be a man

We need you

Some things don't change

I could be congresswoman or a garbage woman

or police officer or a carpenter

I could be a doctor and a lawyer

and a mother and a "good gGod what chu

donet to me?" kind of lover I can be

I could be a computer analyst

The queen with the nappy hair raising her fist

or I could be much more and a myraid of this

Hot as the summer

Sweet as the first kiss

And even though Ic an do all these things

I need you

And even though I can do all these things

We need you

(and you need us too!)
