What You Need From Me

I just had to hear your voice

You've always been my rock

The one that puts me back together

On my way around the block

Yeah, I'm a late night phone call

An ear that you can bend

The sister you never had

Your lover and your closest friend

And it breaks my heart I'll never be what you need from me

Oh I've tried (I've tried) and failed

I've prayed (I've prayed) like hell

To change (to change) but I can't change (I can't change)

I'll let you down 'cause I'm still the same

And I can't be (no I can't be) what you need from me

You need a trophy on your arm

So you don't look so lonely

Someone to get you through the night

Someone to start your morning coffee

You need a man that you can count on

Someone who'll finish what he started

Not a restless soul who comes and goes

And leaves you broken-hearted

And it breaks my heart I'll never be what you need from me

Oh I've tried (I've tried) and failed

I've prayed (I've prayed) like hell

To change (to change) but I can't change (no, I can't change)

I'll let you down 'cause I'm still the same

And I can't be (no I can't be) what you need from me

I've tried, I've failed

I've prayed like hell

But I can't be (no I can't be) what you need from me

What you need from me

What you need from me
