Lyrics:

i don't need you
it's just that i need something i can care about
to pick me up and wash me down and wear my out
if i want you
it's just that i need something i can't do without
to lift me up and let me down and lay me out
to gather me and give me some affection

[romeo and juliet
marilyn monroe
anthony cleopatra
joe di maggio
you can say what you like
but i don't think it's so
you go straight through my heart
little one]

i don't want you
it's just that i need something i can't live without
so tear me up and break me down and bare me out
if i want you
i recognise a need in me i can't disguise
a brittle thing that kicks me like a broken knife
that gathers me and gives me a reflection

[ch]

romeo me come see me
i know what you are
possession is ninety nine
tenths of it all

i just need something i can really care about...
