What You Need Like children in a storm we were thrown together, And we never questioned how long love would stay. Still our hearts grew close and our lives were locked in each other’s, And we never even saw it slipping away...till one day... Chorus: You said, “What you need is a little loving...” I said, “What you want is a dream come true— What you need I want to give you, But all I have to give you is the best I can do!” So, we started the wall, and we built it slowly, Brick by brick and blow by blow, Till we both felt safe with the walls and the distance, And we surprised our hungry hearts when you turned to go; I know... Chorus Bridge: Understand I’m just a man, But I’ll do all that I can do: No shining armor, no gallant steed, But a brighter light when your night turns blue. Chorus: Bridge: What you need is a little loving... I know that I’m no “dream come true”— But what you need I want to give you, Though all I have to give you is a love that’s true; That’s the best I can do... and that’s a love so true! ©1987 Tim McMullen All Rights Reserved
