Who Needs Me
Discover the Price of Love in 'Who Needs Me' by Uriah Heep
Lyrics
Don't take life for granted
Don't underestimate the value of life.
'Cause you know that
Be aware that life doesn't guarantee reciprocation.
Life won't grant you back
You won't receive back the emotions and love you once had.
The feelings on the love
Expressing the emotions felt in a past love.
That you once had
Referring to the emotions experienced in a previous relationship.
You've taken me for granted
Feeling unappreciated in a relationship.
'Cause you know
Pointing out the awareness of being a lover in the same situation as the other person.
I'm a lover just like you
Expressing a willingness to do anything for the other person.
And I'll do anything
Commitment to fulfilling the desires of the other person.
You want me to
Readiness to comply with the other person's wishes.
Who needs me?
Pondering who truly needs the speaker.
Who needs me now?
Questioning the current necessity of the speaker.
You'll find someone
Suggesting that the other person will find someone else.
How you'll find one
Speculating on how the other person will discover a new connection.
Who needs me?
Raising the question again about who truly needs the speaker.
Who needs me now?
Reiterating the inquiry into the current necessity of the speaker.
You'll find another but no better
Acknowledging that the other person may find someone else, but not necessarily better.
You can't argue with me now
Highlighting an inability to argue with the speaker now.
I needed you and
Expressing a past need for the other person.
You did not know how
Indicating a lack of awareness on the part of the other person regarding the speaker's needs.
Don't let go of something
Advising against letting go of something good.
That is good when
Stressing the importance of holding onto a positive relationship.
I'll tell you it's bad
Asserting that even if the speaker says it's bad, the other person should listen to the story and feel sad.
Let 'em hear the story
Encouraging sharing the story with others.
Make 'em sad
Indicating that the story may evoke sadness.
And if the price of love
Considering the cost of love and suggesting it might be less than expected.
Can cost you less than
Highlighting that the price of love can be lower later in the relationship.
When it first began
Comparing the current cost of love to its initial stages.
I guess that you won't
Suggesting that finding a better man might be challenging.
Find a better man
Conveying the idea that the other person won't find someone superior.
Who needs me
Repeating the question of who truly needs the speaker.
