You Need Me, I Don't Need You (Live)

Now, I'm in town, break it down, thinking of making a new sound

Playing a different show every night in front of a new crowd

That's you now, ciao, seems that life is great now

See me lose focus as I sing to you loud

I can't, no, I won't hush

I say the words that make you blush

I'm gonna sing this now, ow, ow

See, I'm true, my songs are where my heart is

I'm like glue, I stick to other artists

I'm not you, now, that would be disastrous

Let me sing and do my thing and move to greener pastures

See, l'm real, I do it all, it's all me

I'm not fake, don't ever call me lazy

I won't stay put, give me the chance to be free

Suffolk sadly seems to sort of suffocate me, hey

Oh, 'cause you need me, man, I don't need you

You need me, man, I don't need you

You need me, man, I don't need you at all

You need me, man, I don't need you

You need me, man, I don't need you

You need me, man, I don't need you

You need me, man, I don't need you at all

You need me, man

I sing and write my own tune and I write my own verse

Hell, don't need another wordsmith to make my tune sell

Call yourself a singer-writer, you're just bluffing

Name's on the credits and you didn't write nothing

I sing fast, I know that all my shit's cool

I will blast, and I didn't go to Brit School

I came fast with the way I act, right

I can't last if I'm smoking on a crack pipe

And I won't be a product of my genre

My mind will always be stronger than my songs are

Never believe the bullshit that fake guys feed to ya

Always read the stories that you hear on Wikipedia

And musically, I'm demonstrating

When I perform live, feels like I am meditating

Times at the enterprise when some fella filmed me

"A young singer-writer like a Gabriella Cilmi"

'Cause you need me, man, I don't need you

You need me, man, I don't need you

You need me, man, I don't need you at all

You need me, man, I don't need you

You need me, man, I don't need you

You need me, man, I don't need you

You need me, man, I don't need you at all

You need me

You need me, man, I don't need you

You need me, man, I don't need you

You need me, man, I don't need you

You need me, man, I don't need you

Sing it

You need me, man, I don't need you

You need me, man, I don't need you

You need me, man, I don't need you

You need me, man, I don't need you

You need me, man, I don't need you

You need me, man, I don't need you

You need me, man, I don't need you

You need me, man, I don't need you

You need me, man, I don't need you

You need me, man, I don't need you

You need me, man, I don't need you

You need me, man, I don't need you

You need me, man, I don't need you

You need me, man, I don't need you

'Cause with the lyrics, I'll be aiming it right

I won't stop till my name's in lights at stadium heights with Damien Rice

On red carpets, now I'm on Arabian Nights

Because I'm young, I know my brother's gonna give me advice

Long nighter, short height and I gone hyper

Never been anything but a singer-songwriter, yeah

The game's over, but now, I'm on a new level

Watch how I step on the track without a loop pedal

People think that I'm bound to blow up

I've done around about a thousand shows

But I haven't got a house, plus I live on a couch

So you believe the lyrics when I'm singing them out

Wow, from day one, I've been prepared

With VO5 wax for my ginger hair

So now, I'm back to the sofa

Giving a dose of what the future holds 'cause it's another day

Go, sing

You need me, man, I don't need you

You need me, man, I don't need you

You need me, man, I don't need you

You need me, man, I don't need you

You need me, man, I don't need you

You need me, man, I don't need you

You need me, man, I don't need you

I've still got a rucksack for the old clothes, I rap with cold flows

I'm back with the most jokes, in fact you don't know

Tracks to throw blows to make my punchlines relevant

If you can't keep up, you'll get none, you're celibate

My flows developing, skin lacks the melanin

Give me a shot of adrenaline and I get it in

Do it for the hell of it

'Cause ever since I hit the mainstream with The A Team I seem to sell a bit

I took what held me back with the women

Packaged the image, put in the content, sold it back as a gimmick

The fact is this, I'll end up dating actresses

Wake up on dirty mattresses, I think I'll need to practice this

But I make shit happen, call me a laxative

World's on my shoulders, I don't even know what Atlas is

Hard bars sharp like a cactus is

I'm back to rapping, back to back 'cause l've been practicing, I'm back to sing this

Yes, you need me, man, I don't

Sing

You need me, man, I don't need you

You need me, man, I don't need you

You need me, man, I don't need you

You need me, man, I don't need you

You need me, man, I don't need you

You need me, man, I don't need you at all

You need me

Now everybody go, oh

Oh, oh

Sing ohh

Sing woah

Sing ohh

Sing woo

Sing woo

Keep my last name forever, genre pretty basic

Gonna be breaking into other people's tunes when I chase it

Replace it with the elephant in the room with a facelift

Into another rapper's shoes using new laces

I'm selling CDs from my rucksack, aiming for the papers

Selling CDs from my rucksack, aiming for the majors

Nationwide tour with Just Jack, still had to get the bus back

Clean cut kid without a razor for the moustache

I hit back when the pen hurts me

I'm still a choir boy in a Fenchurch tee

I'm still the same as a year ago, but more people hear me though

According to the MySpace and YouTube videos

I'm always doing shows, if I'm not, I'm in the studio

Truly broke, never growing up, call me Rufio

Melody music maker, reading all the papers

They say I'm up and coming like I'm fucking in an elevator

'Cause you need me, man, I don't

Sing

You need me, man, I don't, what?

You need me, man, I don't

You need me, man, I don't

You need me, man, I don't

You need me, man, I don't

You need me, man, I don't need you at all

You need me

Sing this back

Sing, you need me, man, I don't need you

You need me, man, I don't need you

You need me, man, I don't need you

You need me, man, I don't need you at all

You need me, man, I don't need you
