Letra da Música You Need Me de Janet Jackson

As a child I missed a lot of love I never had

And daddy, he was distant, never there to hold my hand

Never bought the things he'd always promise to give me

Mother made a point of always watching over me

Days would go by and we would never see his face

In my mind I'd wonder does he have another place?

If and when he'd come in he would always be upset

All the kids were scared, his looks would always be a threat



Chorus:

Now that you are older and you begin to see

Family's important, to be there if you need

Father never taught us, these things mom said to me

Now the table's turned so tell me you need me



Daddy daddy dearest, what is it you want from me

I won't turn my back on you the way you did with me

Now you're trying to give, I'm always reaching out to grab

I'll give you what i can but i can't give what i don't have



Mother lends a shoulder, to cry on if you need

But are you there for mother when she needs your company?

Father never taught us, these things mom said to me

Now the table's turned so tell me you need me

Say you need me



If you realize we need each other

We would be a closer family

I need you, yeah, I need you, and you know that

Say you need me



Repeat Chorus



Say you need me

Just you wait

You'll need me
