I Need You
Yearning Harmony: Gerald Albright's Plea for Connection
Lyrics
I need you do need
I require your presence; I am in need of you.
I want you do you need
Expressing desire for the other person and questioning if they also need the speaker.
asking you
Posing a question, likely seeking clarification or understanding.
to be with me like i'm with you
Desiring a reciprocal commitment to be together, emphasizing equality in the relationship.
now you're leavin out wheni come back home
Observing the other person's departure when the speaker returns home.
did it have something to do with that last call
Suspecting a connection between the departure and a recent phone call.
didn't even have time to talkt o me
Expressing disappointment in not having the opportunity for a conversation.
at all
Feeling neglected or ignored due to the lack of communication.
I suppose we'll get together this weekend
Anticipating a future meeting, suggesting hope for resolution or reconciliation.
you decide to run around with your damn friends
Expressing frustration that the other person chose to spend time with friends instead.
what are we doing
Pondering the state of the relationship and seeking clarity on its direction.
I need you do need
Reiteration of the speaker's need for the other person.
I want you do you need
Reiterating the desire for the other person and questioning their need for the speaker.
asking you
Repeating the inquiry, emphasizing the importance of being together.
to be with me like i'm with you
Emphasizing the truth in wanting a reciprocal commitment to being together.
girl that's the truth
Affirming the sincerity of the speaker's feelings.
there's ben times when you flipped the switch
Recalling past instances where the other person ended the relationship abruptly.
it was done girl and that was it
Expressing the finality of previous relationship-ending actions.
if you're asking me girl you're treating me unkind
Perceiving mistreatment by the other person and questioning their actions.
thought its' always been your way and nothing else
Believing the other person has consistently followed their own desires without regard for the speaker.
you got me feelin like you wanna bounce
Feeling a desire to leave the relationship due to emotional strain.
i'm the one here tryin to turn things around
Expressing an effort to salvage the relationship despite challenges.
cause you're bringing it down
Acknowledging the negative impact the other person is having on the relationship.
I need you do need
Reiterating the speaker's need for the other person.
I want you do you need
Repeating the desire for the other person and questioning their need for the speaker.
asking you
Repeating the inquiry, emphasizing the importance of being together.
to be with me like i'm with you
Emphasizing the truth in wanting a reciprocal commitment to being together.
